I realize that Asperger's does not rule me nor define me.
I have a hard time with other people: SO WHAT!!
This jackass I work with (12 hours a day 7 days a week right next to each other) and I fought so much, we almost came to blows. We both would have been fired right then.
I told him straight up, I have this condition, I do not like being f****d with, do not insult me or my personality. I will be honest with you to a fault, I am a little obsessed with movie and music trivia, etc....
It has finally happened, we are getting along. I stood up for myself, never backed down, and he fianaly realized that I am not so bad if you can get over the annoying parts.
I know my friends and family are waiting for me back home. They have accepted me as who I am without this label.
Now that I know, ehhh....what are you going to do about it?
This DOES put a label on certain behaviors, but once again, SO WHAT!!
I will never again let myself be held back because of Asperger's.
