Please help me write this. ASD is......................

Post Reply New Topic

I would like to hear positive and negative things for each letter. If I write something that you think is just me and isn't related to AS, please let me know. It doesn't matter if I already have something for the letter. I want your ideas for the ones I do and don't have. Also you can give me ideas on how to make the word with the letter first (as in phrasing C with the word Concrete first)? I wish I could add more positive things since this, to me, is a way of life as much as a disorder. Also I know a lot of what I wrote means the same as something written with another letter. (like H and N). Please give me more ideas to prevent that.

Being on the Spectrum is:
A: A part of me. Just like glasses, blond hair, etc.
B: Being part of another world, known by us as the NT world, and having to act as if we are part of the NT world.
C: Having an easier time with Concrete ideas than abstract.
D: Focusing on Details more than the main idea of things.
E: Exausting when having to be around people, lights, and sounds.
F: Frustrating at times. And being in a world where some emotions are a Foreign language.
G: Being Gulible when when given other people's ideas on things you haven't thought about.
H: Having to be in another world most of the time. Not a bad one but not ours.
I: A spectrum disorder, yet we are still Individuals.
J:
K: Knowing others see things we do and see them only as rude, and can't understand that we are doing our best.
L: Like being someone that limps but has to keep up with groups of people who walk fast or run but in our case it is having to keep up with social skills by remembering them in time to do them and being emotionally exausted from doing so the same way someone who limps would be physically tired.
M: Misunderstood
N:
O: Being Overwhelmed by stimuli.
P: Prefering to be alone instead of with groups.
Q: Wanting Quiet
R: Only able to understand and Relate to other people's emotions if they are ones I've felt. Some are a foreign language.
S: Having specialized interests and struggling with social skills.
T: Having talents that go with those interests.
U: Using the interent for communication more than real life since the internet is easier.
V:
W: Being blessed to have found Wrong Planet
X:
Y: Struggling when people use the word You when talking to myself and others in a group. Does You mean me specifically or us as the group in general?
Z:

Well, I will join in.

N - Never really knowing what I did or said wrong in your eyes, and having no idea of how to avoid it next time.

J - Being just like you, only rotated 90 degrees

Z - not a specimen in a zoo.

I will chicken out at least for now on V and X

hope this was helpful to you.
cheers:+)

It's a part of who I am. It just is.

Thanks and it was helpful. I hope more ideas from everyone keep coming.

Where did "No Soup for You" come from? Is it an idiom I should be familiar with?

the soup nazi from the old Seinfeld tv comedy program. a character who was all too easily offended by stuff.

Being an aspie is a pain in the ass, pure and simple.
