Writing about AS

Post Reply New Topic

Hi there everyone... I am hoping to (eventually) write about my experience with living with AS (and TS to a lesser extent) however I don't know where to start. If you were (or are) an undiagnosed Aspie, what would you want to read about? I don't know what bits to include and what to leave out. I would like to write about my experience at school because I had such a bad one... Your opinions please...

I have been trying to write about my school experiences which is a part of my life I have pretended never happened for the past 35 years. I'm not good at writing but feel I must write down some of it to participate the bullying project in another thread on WP. I am finding recalling those times is in fact now can sometimes make me feel better about myself.
If it at all possible to be of any help to anyone suffering a similar experience it must be worthwhile. Nobody should have there childhood blighted by the persistent teasing and bullying I can recall

Also one of my schools was a very weird place and needs to be written about.

Have you read other AS biographies?

When I was first diagnosed last year I read everything I could get my hands on. Some were good, some bad. Some were too melodramatic or too preachy for my taste. The ones I really enjoyed were the ones I could identify with, as in "Finally! Someone who understands what it's like to be me."

When I took writing classes, the first thing they taught us was to "know your audience". So are you writing this for other Aspies to share your experiences/perceptions? Or for the Aspie-curious who haven't been diagnosed yet? Or a "User's Guide" for family and friends of the newly diagnosed Aspie? Or to raise awareness in the general public? Or to satisfy some kind of exhibitionist tendencies on your part? Or just to make money?

(No, you don't have to justify your decision to me. Just trying to suggest a way to clarify what you want the book to accomplish.)

Well I have started writing it and it seems to be aimed at anyone (including Aspies) who doesn't really understand it. My favourite book was Freaks, geeks and Asperger syndrome by Luke Jackson. I read that when I first heard about AS.

Jellybean, I've written a few things about having Asperger's but what I would most like to see is just accounts by everyday kinds of people who have their struggles but also some small triumphs.

I don't identify with somebody who has solved all their problems but relate better to seeing stories of how people like us cope with everyday issues such as going shopping, organising ourselves, dealing with other people, coping with sensory issues, and the like.

There were some very good articles on the growingjoel website but I forgot the exact link.
