Dear Myself,


A huge and growing part of me looks back and asks;

"What is the point of those rants? I understand letting things out, but what exactly IS the point? I mean, yeah, feeling it, but... You do know you can let it go, right?"

But then... The pride and anger was rather deep then. I won't forget those lessons. Now there is lingering guilt, there is attachment, and there is fear.

Worry not, for in due time you'll figure it out. We'll clean the closets together.


Sincerely yours, Yourself.

Dear You,

Well, we finally got tired of your "Can't get a date" routine and arranged for you to meet a decent, intelligent, and good-looking woman.

You acted like a total jerk or a complete idiot (maybe both), implying that "all women" engage in just about every act of immorality from rampant promiscuity to being "Black Widows". The poor girl was nearly in tears when she finally walked out.

If this is the way you treat women, then it no longer surprises any of us that you have no girlfriend. From now on, your complaints of loneliness will fall on deaf ears. May the next woman to see your naked body be the County Coroner.

Good riddance to you!

Me (on behalf of Us)

Say sorry. Tell her you get on tangents etc. The right one will understand. :)

Tell her it was not personal.

You may rescue things yet. So don't give up.

And even if this is a fish who got away... There are more coming. Keep your eyes open! :)

Do shut up. He doesn't want you. I'm not even sure he wants me cos of his foul mouth & bluntness over what he wants... :lol:

You're acting like a poor man's version of Whitney from EastEnders. You're going to annoy him doing that.

By the way I still love him and you can't take him off me. :heart:

And he still loves what he's always loved. He also loves the cold hard £££.

Dear Cyndi Lauper.
I absolutely LOVE your music. I don't have any of it on CD or record or any other form but to watch and listen to them on youtube, but what a blessing you are to have sung so many fun and emotional things. :heart:

I am in tears as I write this as I have listened yet again to "Maybe he'll Know" as it is oe of my favourites, but the one which also really inspires me through the video and the sound of the music etc... The colours and sounds and everything about it... "Change of Heart".
WOW. And your lovely Mum who appears in some of your music videos. :D She is so great!
I am soo sad that I didn't pay much attention to your music when I was in my youth, as going through school in the 1980's (And the '70's) wasn't an easy experience, and I was and still am into trains, so all my attention was into trains. If schooling was about trains and railways I'd be teaching rhe teachers! Haha.
Anyway. I am sorry for not taking much notice about your music until the last year or two. I am soo greatful now that you sang those songs.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :heart:

So I'm sending blessings of appreciation to say thanks as I don't have a clue how to get in touch...

From an admirer. :)

Brilliant. Reminds me of my reaction when I got my diagnosis:

Dear Human Race,

re Everything I’ve ever said and everything I’ve ever done

Please accept my apologies for the above. My intentions were good. The problem has at last been identified.

Yours sincerely,

Dear teenaged self,

Five Things for Young Men with Asperger’s to Bear in Mind:–

1. The phrase “any time” must never be taken literally, nor must phrases such as “We should definitely do that some time!” or “Sounds like a plan!” be taken to indicate those who utter them have any positive, definite intention of doing whatever it is. Indeed, the phrase “Sounds like a plan!” is popular among persons incapable of adhering to any plan. Using words without knowing what they mean is neurotypical behaviour.

2. Similarly, while phrases such as “no trouble” and “good to see you” may to some extent reflect the truth, they are likely to be less than 100% true. Using words without quite meaning what the words mean is also neurotypical behaviour.

3. When you’re feeling crap, neurotypical people like to say: “You’re looking well!” They are not expecting to be contradicted, and will not cope if you attempt to point out how crap you actually feel. Instead, what they are probably expecting is that you will say something positive—albeit equally untrue—about them (e.g. “It’s good to see you.”).

4. Similarly, if anyone asks, “How are you?”, under no circumstances reply to this enquiry by actually answering the question: again, something untrue but positive, and also very brief, is what neurotypical people expect. They will cope badly with a full and honest answer.

5. If a girl smiles at you and seems inexplicably interested in you, this need not indicate she might like to go to bed with you or spend her life with you or have your children; whether or not there is any discernible reason for her to be so overtly friendly towards you, being friendly is what she is doing, and that’s likely to be all she is doing.


I'm sorry this makes so little sense, but weirdly it all appears to be true, so start coping!

Best wishes,

While blame in and of itself changes nothing, it is the actions taken to mitigate the condition that caused the blame that makes all of the difference. Don't get stuck in a "Blame & Shame" mode -- get out there and do something about it!

Dear myself,


Accept the fact that the life story that you created yourself is pathetic as you said so yourself.
On top of defending said pathetic story, while having to whine that story of yours is pathetic while denying all of this.

So... Yes. :lol:
You're pathetic. As much pride and 'power' you thought you have, you judged yourself as pathetic, therefore you are...

And as you keep claiming that 'I know that damnit!'... It says a lot, really.
But so does this written text.


Sincerely from Yours Truly...

I did not choose to have Aspergers and this terrible thing is ruining my life.
I can not do many things because of my Aspergers.
No one likes me because of my Aspergers.
I find it hard to find a job and even harder to keep a job because of my Aspergers.

No, you did not. It is often actually helpful to keep that in mind, e.g. when someone seems to be blaming you for having it.

Rainbow_Belle wrote:

It needn't actually ruin your life, but it is a disability, and in the interests of your own sanity you need to try to find a way of accepting you have this disability.

Rainbow_Belle wrote:

True. Unfortunately that goes with the disability territory. So it's a question of extracting whatever joy you can from whatever things you can do, because sitting around contemplating all the stuff you can't do is not going to improve your quality of life.

Rainbow_Belle wrote:

I know that feeling well enough, but happily some people do have the ability to perceive the good stuff in you, and they'll be able to see past the Asperger's and like you for who you are. How to meet those people, I don't know, but I can tell you I've somehow met some, now and again: they are out there!

Rainbow_Belle wrote:

Yes, I could upload my c.v. and it'd say the same thing. But I didn't choose to have Asperger's any more than you did, so I don't blame myself for my car-crash of a career and there is no shame in it. The money aspect is a problem, admittedly, and can be a source of anxiety and depression in itself; but many disabled people are up against that same problem. People have often told me there are more important things than money, but my landlord and my coalman and my electricity supplier don't tend to see it that way... So money is the one concern I have no positive suggestion about, unfortunately.

Good luck, Rainbow Belle.
