Hi, this is the first post I am sending because I was wondering if there was anyone out there I can relate too.

First off, I am one of those aspies who isn't very intelligent and doesn't really have any natural talents. During highschool I only passed 2 of my GCSE's at grade C (english and maths), I used to think I was okay at maths but tbh compared to most I'm pretty lame at it.

Only thing I ever found out I was any good at was drawing, which is why I decided to take creative media (which I also took because i love games) and graphics. Problem is though - being able to draw a image that you can look at from a picture is one thing, but being able to visualize an image and then being able to draw it without any resource material, that's another thing. Most artists I believe are naturally creative, and can draw images from their minds; whereas I can draw well, but only with resource materials.

I am hoping by writing this post that there is someone out there that I can relate too, or has had a similar issue that they where able to overcome.

I would love it if anyone could send me feedback, just try not to be to negative or offensive please, thanks.

PS: I am also 16 years old and was diagnosed with ASD at the age of 5.

You're only 16. Can't you study more to get more "passes."

How about going for A-levels in the two subjects which you passed, and perhaps one more. Then the GCSE's won't matter any more. Getting a C in A-levels, is not too bad.

LOL....I'm a terrible artist, so I can't identify with you there. But I do wish you luck in your pursuits.

I $ucked in school due to dyslexia, ADD & a low vision disorder & only passed some of my classes because I had my grads curved. I also don't have any of the stereotypical or any really Aspie special strengths, skills or talents. I s#ck with drawing too thou.
