Partners for Autonomy in Life Skills.

Yesterday I met others like myself, not all of them with Aspergers or autism, but some of these kids also had ADD/ADHD and PDD. We all had similar interests, and from the first 5-10 minutes we clicked in no time. In the last 7 months, I have greatly improved in several areas of my life. I have become more social, I have a more well-rounded sense of humor and I have improved my physical coordination mainly by running (in summer I'll be swimming again). Now I can make the next important leaps that will set me apart from where I was years ago. I may have Asperger syndrome, and I may be different in some respects, but I'm still a person.

I've noticed what is identical and what is not, and I've found ways to work around weaknesses and compromise to more effectively put myself out there to people. I have a lot of friends at school, and it has been only 3 months since I had 2 girlfriends, one which I was really close with, but at the time I was surrounded by trouble, and I decided to focus on what is truly important.

At PALS there are two people (husband-wife) that have been researching Aspergers, autism and related 'disorders' for over 30 years. They are very intelligent people and I am sure I could both teach and learn much to and from them. Yesterday we went to Arbys and we were going to go to Sam Ash for some guitar thing but we were short on time. I sat at a table with a girl in the group and we talked over how we got into PALS and our backround. She finished before I did because I wasn't very hungry and was just socially-eating, so I shared some of my curly fries and another guy was showing some stuff on his PSP, and we then left and went back.

I walked home with my dad from Charleston and down Las Vegas Blvd and we also went through Sahara hotel and casino and went home.

Regardless what happens, never lose your patience. You are gifted, and there are good reasons why you are this way, now show others the truth.

I don't know why I posted this under my other account, but for some reason mine wasn't working for a moment.

But yeah, I go under 'Dangerousd777' or 'Dangerousd77' on almost every site.
