I kind of entered this site on whim, when I should be writing college applications. I have never heard of this site but I like the looks of it already.
I admit I am always in denial about the fact that I have aspergers. I don't go to a special school, have good grades and am involved several clubs. Yet for years I have been driven crazy by my lack of friends. In grammer school, it was horrible. Kids said nasty things and I was never invited to anything.
I thought things were surprisingly different. The teachers were nice and even jocks were pleasant. Also, I had 3 good friends who invited me to the movies on occasion. Junior year, one friend dumped me and refuses to tell me why to this day.
Now it is senior year in my small school. Both of my friends have dumped after I reacted bady to their deciet. I want to make amends, but they refuse to talk to me. So I am alone, again.
This post probably belongs somewhere else but I thought I should explain why I am here. My name is Kristine, I love to write and want to be a journalist. I'm crazy about history, Harry Potter, and almost any other subject except music.
I did much of the same thing. I convinced myself coming out of high school that I was normal and just had a learning disabiltty. I'm realizing now that I've been in denial most of my entire life. Whenever something terrible would happen, I would pretend it didn't happen and that was my way to cope. But I think that bubble has burst and I'm finding myself much more reclusive.
Writing is a good outlet. I managed to get a gig writing for money recently, and it's made me much happier.
