I am a very intelligent person I when in school excel past my grade level for my whole life, I'm a bit out of shape, but I am exersicing and whatching what I'm eating to loose it, overall I'm almost smarter and bigger bones then my parents, however my parents and others keep getting the wrong idea of my aspergers, because im constantly either undermined by my parents and everyone else looks at me weird now, I don't know why but suddenly now I'm not as good anymore and I worried my full potential will never be seen if they keep treating me like this, don't get me wrong my parents still treat me with some dignity, but less so than before? I feel like that one flower that keeps get paved over and walk over, it rips me to pieces inside, though I show no color on the outside I have feelings; how do I go through this?

I suppose, have a day to forget everything that you worry - watch a movie, have a nice dinner, the playland or anything that makes you happy. Then day 2: evaluate yourself, what you value and what you're good at. Pursuit it, it's the only thing that will make you happy.

It doesn't matter what other people tell you or how long and difficult it takes, as long as you're pursuing it you're on your way to happiness.

For me, I experience tremendous underestimation from almost everyone around me. I decided to spend my life doing research in fuel cells. Although pursuing that has been somewhat difficult for me. Not that I don't have good grades - someone told me that with my academic performance I should be able to pick professors to work with.

I think it's a struggle for a lot of us that others are not focusing on our strengths but weaknesses. If only people could be more understanding. And I'm trying. Will there be a middle ground for the NTs and Aspies to better understand each other?

Make sure you get a balanced diet of people, and focus on the ones who acknowledge your strengths and assets, and tell jokes that work for you.

Never mind your "potential". We can't all be movie stars or best selling authors.

Look for a job that will give you a nice quiet life without too many stresses.
