Hello all. I'm making a presentation about what it's like to have aspergers, and I was wondering if you guys could give me some of your own quotes about what it's like to be on the spectrum. Thanks!

My personal AS mantra is...

A fish is not a broken bird .

If that is a bit to abstract...the point is that you can''t judge how well a fish swims if you are only focused on the fact that it isn't flying. but some aspies were offended that I thought they were fish and not birds ...so...OK you want to be the birds this time

"A bird is not a broken fish" works just as good :lol:

Is there really a connection between connective tissue disorders and autistic behaviors? I have been checked for Marfan's before starting an exercise program years ago. All the tests came back negative.

"I feel akin to a bright light light shining within a dark globe."

- meaning that there is quite a bit going on in my head and I have a lot of great ideas, but I am generally unable to effectively communicate them to others. It is like my mind is a bright and powerful light bulb, but my AS has put a dark globe over it, thus very little of the light can escape to be seen by others.
