hello, im lito. or that's how i like to be called.

i am not sure if i have asperger, but my whole life has been a nightmare. always different, sometimes mistaken for gay, bad attitude, negligence, etc.

i have no bad intentions and i just can't understand people. i try very hard to please them, to make them understand me and all i get is "you are crazy, are you on drugs? dont make an excuse for yourself, for your laziness, etc etc.

i've seen a lot of movies, Ben X, Adam, Temple Grandin, etc etc and i've read a lot about psychology. i've always been good with the subject and logic, but never being to actually study it. i've been around graphic design, and such and i just dont see myself working in groups. it's too hard to follow orders, or to let others do the job.

i decided to go to a psychologist, and said i may have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). no asperger test. but i've done it in the internet, and more than once. at first, i was shocked. no cure for it? i have to live with this.

it seems like a nightmare, since im in the minority. but then, i see inspirations like Einstein and such, possibly Aspergians and high successful in subjects i like: Discoveries, Time n Space, Mental Distortions, Multiversity of dimensions, Extraterrestial Life.

I'm in Ecuador. i've read it's important the society and cultural level for how this is treated since little. i've had hard times in school, for being different. my tutor said i was always in the clouds, "Avion" his nickname. other kids bullied me and call me names like "Auti" from autist. at these years i had no idea what autism was, nor the existence of Asperger.

i came to this thanks to "Adam" and Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. i was like, hey.. they are similar to me. and also Ted Mosby from How i met your mother.

any advices? cause im stuck, i have a girlfriend but she doesnt believe me. i dont have any job, never could get one. dont know how, i have no mentors. i used to study, but i didnt see any point on that career. always had difficulties with new classes, lately i tried to join Psychology, and it was too hard i couldnt go to class anymore. i quit...

i have these thoughts whole day about how others think about me, i feel too insecured to just walk in the city. i never got on a bus, or walk alone in a shopping mall. i have this annoying thing in my head when it comes to people's sound in the background, the bla bla bla.

seriously, im 26 and i feel desperate. internet, is my only friend. im friendless.

hi everyone :) i still love live, videogames, my cat who's name is Lotus. i like metaphysics, and i have faith in happiness someday though ill never feel the same as neurotypical people.

Welcome litoid. I think things will get better for you now. Just keep coming here and keep learning more about ASD and how it helps you grow in understanding about why you do what you do. Knowledge is the key.
