sound familiar any one...?

Although there are many possible symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome, the main symptom is severe trouble with social situations. Your child may have mild to severe symptoms or have a few or many of these symptoms. Because of the wide variety of symptoms, no two children with Asperger's are alike

you don't have asperger's.

[jovigirl8]

oh really? you don't think any of those sound like me...?

[jeannekins]

yeah, but that doesn't mean you have aspberger's. you may be a bit different from your peers, a little ocd and rather bitchy, but that doesn't put you on the spectrum dearie. trust me.

but htat's what i'm saying, it's not like that. it explains so much, like the whole "appear to lack empathy" thing, and that stupid thing that i'm always doing with my fingers, and why i have no friends...

i met you, what, twice, for a couple of hours total. you do not have a disorder.

you are a bit unsure of what and how to do things.

plus, you don't really want to grow up. it sucks. nothing good comes in the mail, responsibilities make your body sag, board meetings become fun, and you suddenly have the ability to remember when things were better. none of these things are fun.

however, you are going to have to do these things some day, maybe not the board meetings, and you should probably jump in and start swimming.

it's not really that bad, it's just life.

but you don't have a disorder.

maybe i'm just hanging around the wrong people who making me think there's something wrong with me.

why would you ever bother listening to and believing in someone else's opinions? your opinions are the only one's that matter.

i could tell you exactly how to live your life. i could. i haven't done to bad. but, in the end, if you followed what i told you, you'd only end up being almost, but not quite, like me. why would you want to do that?

self-doubt is normal. anti-social behavior is normal. wishing you had done things a little differently is normal. realizing opportunities lost after the fact is normal. having weird relationships is normal.

giving in to any of the above to be someone other than yourself is abnormal.

here, try this, i can bumper sticker it for you. life's philosophy in two words.
'fuck them.'

there, i'm off my pedestal.
why so sad, anyway?

too much pressure from every one. nothing i ever do is right or good enough.
