Hi, I`m new here

Post Reply New Topic

I am also happy for you because you not only found so many other people who share who and how you are, but that you know that you are an Aspie at this young age ... and that will be such an advantage later in life.

I did not know when I was young. Actually for almost 45 years I thought that everyone did things like me, that everyone saw things like me, that everyone felt like me, and I was so ofter hurt and disappointed when they did not behave like I did.

Like a true Aspie I would notice things about them, little things like new eye glasses, or a haircut, a new scarf or shoes, while they would never notice these things on me. I always thought they were ignoring me and being mean to me, when I was trying so hard to be their friend.

Not knowing that I was different caused me a lot of sadness and I cried a lot feeling so ignored and isolated.

Now that I know what and who I am I can handle things a little better. I can at least understadn why others do not notice things or do not react like I do. It is not easy, but at least I am happy that I have found out and also found this website with so many more like myself!

Actually I have only been here at Wrong Planet just a few weeks!

You are welcome yet again!

Thanks again everyone!
Star i feel excactly the same, almost.. i feel frustrated alot and isolated, but it`s not because of that people reject me, but that i reject them because i have aspergers, and if i tell them, i will be even more isolated and rejected by them, so that would be even worse.

Yet again, you're welcome!

Hi Airbrush,

I understand what you mean about not telling them. I have not told anyone except one friend I talk to on line and have never met in person. I am also afraid that if I tell people I know that I have Aspergers and that its a form of Autism they will think I am ret*d or something, or even worst they will not believe me and think I am lying to them...

Yes, it is hard to know and not be able to tell the people you think of as friends. But think of one positive thing: at least YOU know. You KNOW how you are. That is very important because if you don't know like I did not know you would be very lost and scared because I knew that I was different but did not know why. You know why, and you can have a better chance in succeeding with the things you want to do.

And, I hope that you will do everything you dream of doing. Do not let anyone tell you that you can't do something because they don't know. Just follow your heart and you will be OK.

Hi Airbrush
I have not tell people about me, I kinda autodiagnosed myself but I am not sure anyway, and if I tell them I am an Aspie they wouldn't understand, most people around here have no idea whta AS is but they do know something about autism, bit they believe only affects to children, they probably will reject me if they knew.

I have told my parents I might have AS but they have doubts about it, they think I just might have social anxiety but there are some AS characteristics that I think I have, and I have been like this forever.

Welcome to WP!

I'm SamuraiSaxen, and I hope you find what you need.

Thanks again everyone, i`m really happy atleast you guys accept me.
I haven`t told anybody, but i want too though.. but i can`t becuase they WILL reject me because they will think i`m a phsycophat or something and that would be even worse.

Thanks everyone!

welcome to wp!!

i found out i had AS at 11 and it scared the sh*t out me and i made one mistake, telling everyone. it turned out they werent really friends and i was abandoned!! so my key piece of advice is do research so you understand AS yourself and then tell those you really trust!!

i'm now 17 but if you have any problems that i can help with, don't hesitate to Private Message ME!!

thanks darkscorpion, that`s what i`m afraid of, that my "friends" will abandoned me..

Thanks everyone!
