Post Reply New Topic

nice question

I've problems like face to face talking but i can talk freely on internet..you can say by forums,facebook,chatting etc....one day my friend ARPIT
sent me message on facebook about some symptoms of aspergers and asked me "do you have same problems??".....i replied that yes this all characteristics totally match with my nature!....still he didn't said me that it was symptoms of AS...after it he said me that you may have asperger's syndrome.....he know me very well bcoz we were room partner during school time.....he is only my close friend you can say.....after i realized that why i have few friends,why i don't like social gathering, why can't make eye contact, why i hate guest and many question that starting from WHY

you may laugh by reading this but i don't know which words i should use....
btw whats your real name??

I think we should use when did you relize you were different question on the questioner.
Me I can do face to face talking but I get into those awkward silent moments were I don't know what to say in a conversation. Thank goodness forWp. When I first started on here. I was bad writting conversation I was really bad spelling( still am but getting better. but since I stated using it to communate I have gottting better. Same here few friends but they almost all on spetuuim too. .

How were you feeling and thinking when you saw how saw the description of AS. How did you come to terms with it

I was first diganosed with with PDD- NOS at 18 ( it is like Aspergers and I am pretty close to
having aspergers. I did not believe I was autistic when I was diagnosed. Intil met my friend who I do autism panels with now. She had invited me to speck with her about at an
university. The rest is history, I had a change of heart about autism and became an
advocate. And I put my life for autism now.

Me too, I get nervous when am around alot people and if people enter my home and I never met them before out side my house I shy away from them.

Remind me not to ask you in a question in why.

Why would I laugh, Well My name is not Indianish but it is Tiffany( can't give you my last, this is a public forum. Is your name really Jhomes or is that your nickname

sorry but i don't get your question clearly!
at first time even i couldn't believe that i have aspergers..but after my friend's msg i tried to find more detailed information about asperger syndrome..i"ve visited lots of website and then i came to the point that i may have aspergers...still confuse about it because self diagnosed...



i was thinking like people will laugh on my simple english
ok..i don't mind...my name is Jignesh Patel.....and jhomes is not my nick name

even i don't know why i have registered with this name ! just came to my mind and i've used it!

you were talking about something like youtube video in which you n your friend have given voice...post video link here!

Oh, having presentations in India, that is definitely possible. Maybe they could do something in my city Ahmedabad. It is way behind even compared to other Indian cities.

Oh man how I used to sleep... . Sometimes 9+ hours at a stretch. Ever since we shifted to this part of the city, it has become impossible.

It's not about young or old, even in my younger years I had very weak memory. The one big advantage all aspies have, I am missing . Due to that I was bad at studies too, even though I understood things well. I always got very less marks because the education system in India is memory-based.

The hindi idea is really great. It's a big decision, you'll really need to think about it. Do you have hindi classes near your locality?

Lady-ivy's question - जब पहली बात aspergers के बारे में पता चला तो कैसा लगा, क्या बातें दिमाग में आईं? अगर धक्का पहुंचा, तो स्थति से समायोजन (adjust) कैसे किया?

Do you like Sherlock Holmes?

.

If my group was to present. It is more likey to be in a bigger city were india's own autism oranzituon are so there is more people to reach. I wish we could we have a traveling group
to reach all the nicks and crany city's in India. We chould even reach yours. I can't say what will happen and were we would we present am not physic. But if we go to present in India. We try to have you and Jhomes on the presenting panels too. I think india's people should hear what native Indian autistics go though in there lives. The thing about me if dont know this. I tend to think ahead. It is one of the great things about me and one of my downfalls. but I believe in possibilities.

9+ hours of sleep wow that more then most people even me. And I take sleeping pills. Now
I see why you are upset about getting sleep at night.

Were you bad at time management and you would have you write down stuff too
Rembember. I think I would been great at Indian education. Here in America it seem to more creative line with a mix of memory.

I would have to think about it more but it possible I will want to learn. But not in my city, I could be worng. I mostly I see language classes for spanish. There is not much indians in my city so wont easily find someone to teach me. Do you have any more ideas.

Oh Dhawal thank you for the kind words. If I had never talked to you. I would of still been bad at written communication.

No one would laugh in America over your written English. Would you believe most Americans especial around our age would have written the way you with the ( btw) thing.

You have a Nice name. Am wandering to my self were did I met someone with your last
name before. I am just wandering and it seems Dhawal is wandering too. Seeing that your name begins with a J. Do you like Sherlock homes

Something I was not putting much thought for a name. Lady ivy just came in my mind signing up for WP. I look back now i see I am a lady. And I like plants too. So I guess the name fits

Am not on any of his video except for an interview I did with him. But that interveiw is ok at least in my mind. You might like it. But all I said we have spoken together at colleges and conferences. I don't think they made a video on it.

His name is arman khodaei. You should be able type is name in YouTube and find his
videos.

I think Dhawal cleared it out on what the question I asked you.

I think from answers you gave me about when you relized you were autistic. I have been around a lot of people on the autism sprtium. Even though you are self diagnosed I believe you have autism. The same thing about Dhawal too. I believe he is really is autistic
too.

Actually Ahmedabad is the 7th biggest city in India, and more populous than any US city except New York.
It's an honour to think that we could be on the presenting panels, thank you!
How is thinking ahead a downfall? I also have great hope for the future .

I usually slept for 8 hours, only on some days I went 9+. The studies problem was less about time management, and more about memory, ADHD and procrastination. I also have mild ADHD which make it difficult for me to understand written text.

I'll search the net and see what kind of solutions are there for learning hindi.

I guess then we all are helping each other in some way, right? Viva la Internet!

wow thats a huge from Ahmedabad population level. and the only US city that bigger then Ahmedabad is new york city. which means the other 3 higher population cites are higher then new york city am shocked but i sould not be. from what i last heard India has the 2nd highest popultion in the world.
Ahmedabad looks like nice city. i could be worng as i am looking at scenery pictures. but with a city that has that big of a population am surprise no one has tried to put an organizations there. even if people dont know about autism. besides you there is more likey to 1000's of autisitcs in your city. funny thing the 1000's of them dont relize they have a some form of autism.

my freind told me ADHD is possible may be a form of autism saprtium. I have a form of ADHD too. my mind is always on the run at full speed. i just think so fast i sometimes forget what someone wanted me to do like home chures or telling me to do something like calling for appointments. but i never forget anything about school, or things what interest me i have great memory of that . does this happen to you too.

you are so cool thanks so much. am hopeing i might be a good at understanding hindi someday.

in yes in a great way but pleasure is mine too. i know i told you already but this is a passion of mine. thanks for letting me in this autism project in India. i feel a connection with my ancestral lands from doing this project with you guys. if you have any quetions on what i can do to help my fellow autisitcs in India. dont be afraid to ask.

namaste everyone
i am from mumbai

Ahmedabad is the 7th largest city in India, not the 4th. It's like this -

1. Delhi (NCR) - 21,753,486
2. Mumbai Metropolitan Region - 20,748,395
3. Kolkata Metropolitan Area - 14,617,882
4. Chennai Metropolitan Area - 8,917,749
5. Bangalore - 8,728,906
New York - 8,175,133
6. Hyderabad - 7,749,334
7. Ahmedabad - 6,352,254

Ahmedabad has good economic progress and cultural values. But in terms of social awareness, people are like intentionally remaining backwards. People of the Gujarat state are known for their obsession for food and finance. It's like, they feel that other things are unimportant, so they are intentionally lazy about them.That's the reason that me, Jignesh, Sabu are so charged up about spreading awareness. People haven't even heard the word Autism. 1000s are suffering the way we did, and they have no way out. It's a tragedy. Someday I'll write about all the ways in which an aspie's life improves, after he finds out about aspergers. Maybe then people will see why awareness is important.

I don't know if I forget things because of ADHD, autism or just bad memory. ADHD affects me in different ways, maybe I'll make a seperate post about that too. That makes it 3 remaining posts . I haven't searched much on hindi yet, but I came across a book by Richard Delacy called Elementary Hindi. You can google it to find out more.

Thanks, we'll ask you whenever we need help. Actually we do ask you when we need your help . You shouldn't feel like an outsider now, you're one of us now ! !
