... *Shrugs*

I'm consistantly dissonant with most of humanity.


Heck, everyone else is talking about spurts of normality and whatnot, and I'm feeling like I don't belong on the simple basis that I don't have them. I'm constantly, perpetually, and quite unerringly Aspergian.

This might sound odd, but I think I'm very slowly growing out of my AS.

Just listen to me on this one, mmkay?

1) I never stimm

2)I don't (usually)have meltdowns

3)I have really started to act mature, and I don't know why.

4)I never act hyper anymore, really!

5)I can interact with people in a friendly manner, initiate conversations, and keep them 2 way!

Now mind you when I was little, you could say nothing on this list described me.
Fast foward 10 years, and I am so completley different that it's not even funny.

I don't know what's happening, but I don't feel like an Aspie anymore :(
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Please respond to this :(


Yes, I know what you mean. I have times like you describe and wonder if I'm an Aspie at all. Then I do quite AS things socially and it reminds me that yes, I really am. I've been having the feeling lately that I don't really care about having AS - the novelty of finding out all about it is starting to wear off a bit now (it's been a couple of years since I discovered Aspergers) I'm not sure it really matters any more. Maybe that's a positive thing.

I think as you get older, you learn to adapt more to the world. I am one of the ones that was severe as a child, but learned to adapt well without knowing, but unfortunatly my AS habits I openly desplayed made life hard for ms still. I am still getting over the shock, but now I know what I've been doing in society "wrong" and I think I'll be better off for it for now on.

I think that when you become solitary and not being bother, it really not much to meltdown or get irritable by people when living on your own.

I know I would grow out of it if I do the same.

What could be left is the momentum that make you feel like you have something down but you alway and alway be an autistic unless you are misdiagnosed. Your autistic ability never leave you or the social impairment let alone the anxiety that autistic people might have.
