What do you regret the most about your life with Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Not being able to make or even keep a serious relationship with people, tho I have friends, never anything more beyond that and of course screwing my life up during and after collage, tho I made many mistakes alot of that came down to social issues.

I regret not keeping the friends I once had. It's funny how you don't know what you have until it's gone.
I regret getting into drugs and not getting out soon enough.

Count me in with the "not knowing".

If I had understood that there was a fundamental difference in communications, I might have been able to compensate or find a work-around. I might have been able to avoid some of the pain I have inflicted along the way. I might not look back and see a wake of destruction.

Passing years have closed off some relatively easy options, and what I'm left with is rather more difficult and dangerous. Then again, I might not have asked the questions I did if life had been easier.

Maybe it all works out.

I regret not being strong enough to face the bullies in school and letting them put me though so much crap.

I don't regret any of it. I learnt of AS at 29 so for me it was more of a morale boost to know WHY.


With the WHY I can now try to figure out the HOW to fight it. Knowing that i was able to deal with it when much younger without knowing gives me a lot of strength to face it forward.

Im an obsessive problem solver so this.. to me... is the grandest of things to solve



... though I do wish I could interact better with others. Being lonely sucks. Working on this one

Not connecting to people is my big one. I have friends but they are superficial "let's just hang out and BBQ/movie/dinner" but no more than that.
