Asperger's Syndrome
Quote From: happybutterflyIt is always so good to hear from adults that have been through the tough times as I have and my 2 children have too. Although I have never had a diagnosis I have so many of the same things I deal with that they go thru so I am able to be more understanding towards them and there difficultys. It can be hard and you do have to keep going and to everyone who looks down apon those who do have a mental dissorder we do have our special abilitys becouse we notice the world a little differently. And as I have been told my whole life the world takes all kinds. So Keep Up The Great Work Standing Tall!! The thing we all need is a loving, caring, environment and we can do it!!
I was the kid who was very intelligent, so the teachers in parochial school didn't know what to do with me, but was unable to stop talking to the others in class. I could quote the teacher's comments, so I was paying attention. Socially, I did the "right" things, but can't seem to read others well enough, and so had only a few close friends and was always on the outside looking in. I was too "nice" to shun the truly mentally handicapped, and so was shunned even more. That I was also never a socially thin person didn't help (healthy, swimmer, hiker). I now think I may have a little bit of Asperger's, since I still even work best when on shift alone with a few patients (lpn).
