| We all want to be liked and loved. It seems everybody wants to be famous and a to be star. However, there are some people that have all the fame and friends, but they never asked for it or planned it, but those people are rare. It's hard having AS because as humans we're all social animals. It's jus... |

| I really wonder what the TEACCH person thinks AS changes to in adults. I dunno, but I'm sure it's not an official TEACCH idea. I e-mailed them when I was first diagnosed, and they helped me out some with first steps, learning more about my own mind and how I could work with it. They never said anyt... |

| I had a brother that lived in Germany for several years. When he came back to the states he was so unhappy about the health care here in America. I'm from America, and I'm an adult with Asperger's. I'm just wondering why in countries like France, England and Germany have better help for children, te... |

| I dislike having Asperger's syndrome for many reasons. I would really rather say I hate having Asperger's syndrome. Being misunderstood has always been very difficult to deal with. Never having friends or long lasting friendships is a burden. Being unemployed and part of the 15% living in poverty is... |

| I just love music period. I've always played albums over and over, and songs over and over. As a kid I remember so many people that could not even get through listening to one song, and as an adult I still have known many people that can't get through one song. I remember one person I was riding in ... |

| In my opinion Asperger's syndrome is one of the worst neurological disorders anyone could have. I feel if I would have manifested in the 21 century rather than the 20th century, I definitely would have received an earlier diagnoses, and above all treatment as a child. Instead I've gone through most ... |

| So far I have not been able to get help from my Vocational Rehabilitation and my local TEACCH center. It seems like the people I've talked to have discouraged me from using the services. Also, I get the feeling that the Vocational Rehabilitation does not know much about Asperger's syndrome. I talked... |

| Thanks everyone and Zur-Darkstar the information was insightful. I do agree with you Zur-Darkstar about our capitalistic society. I could go on and on about it, but my main goal is to try to get employed and better my life, and cope with my Asperger's syndrome. A couple movies I have enjoyed that ta... |

I was diagnosed with Asperger's at the Menninger Clinic when I was 33 years old. I've struggle most of my life with Asperger's never knowing I had it. Grade... |
