Here is how Asperger Syndrome can affect your life and it has done to me in several ways.
Asperger Syndrome is a condition that causes people to have communication and social difficulties. People with the condition can be obsessed with certain things. Recently I was having obsessions with a film by the band 'Tenacious D'. I also had obsessions with Star Wars as I got Star Wars games and books and used to constantly watch 'Return of the Jedi' when I was 13. People with Asperger Syndrome can also end up with problems finding a partner but you always get a friend saying that youll get love one day which I think everyone does get. As for you know, I have been very badly understood in society, not known what to do about things, not had decent friends at school or college, been accused innocently, been left out, been treated like an animal, had others seen as better than me, had others being jealous of me including this girl I had a date with for nearly a year until she lied about her age which resulted in me dumping her. Didn't regret doing that but she proved how childish she was saying i was a saddo and even worse happened. Her aunt who she lived with due to several problems sent me an e-mail containing this sentence.
right im only gonna say this the once,so
listen up good cos i wnt repeat myself!
yes its abt kims real age, so what if she lied
abt her real age , did u ever stop to think why?
il tell u why , in her own mind she thought soon
as u knew her real age ,u would want anythink else
to do with her lieing abt her age is hardly the
crime of the century and unless your only after
her for 1 thing
That's out of order, if you as a parent or guardian see your child lying about their age you should take action against them.
I never knew what to do about issues, was always sat in silence not knowing what to do, I barely got on with people exactly the same age as me because they treated me like crap. People a year or two younger than me, some seemed to approve of me but I have not felt this was enough to save me as almost everyone else has a group of friends exactly the same age as me. Certain problems including bullying, false accusation and being left out had resulted in me having trouble making friends. It was always the people who are liked by everyone who found it funny to pick on me. Just because you are very popular does not mean there is nothing wrong with you. When I left school I was having some feeling that Id make some new friends. I started a class but a few weeks before that was the Induction Day. Some people from School were on it that werent my type of friends. They had problems behaving and didnt know had to respect others. Was always wondering why I keep being put in classes with people that dont share my interests and have problems behaviouring. I met this girl in my class but at the time I was having a rough time and she harrassed me for a date. Eventually I asked her out and a few days later I dumped her. I still feel that could have turned into a proper relationship but there was no other decent friends on the course. I skipped several lessons due to all these issues and nothing was done. I still hate my teacher from there as she seemed to be allowing problems to happen. I felt forced. Had a similar problem on the second year at College. On my 3rd year I was regretting dumping the girl, I did not know what to do as I had been accepted by the wrong people and people who were jealous of me had ruined my life and got on with their lives and became happy with themselves. I have a close friendship with a dude on that course that I always enjoy the company of. Im happy he is proud of me. The same goes back to him. Learning Support Teachers were always a pain and still are. Nobody else is always in need of Learning Support so why do I want it. It has given people the wrong impression of me and still I feel that several problems have impaired my life and that Asperger Syndrome had contributed to it. I was the one always getting problems with nobody there to back me up or to sort them out with me. Not much went on in my life. One of my main interests I could carry around with me was music. I could walk from and back to College and from and back to whereever else carrying an mp3 listening to what I wanted. I could never tell who was the friendliest, in my ICT class I barely see any hostile students as I dont get abusive texts or get punched and kicked. Learning Support Staff still wind me up right to this date. I applied for several jobs around where I live with none replying to me. I was paranoid that they are discriminating me and still am up to this date. Some films or actors/singers etc I only liked because they are funny. Jack Black was funny in his actions during 'Tenacious D, Pick of Destiny'. Matt Damon was also amusing on Team America with his constant 'Matt Damon' whenever he spoke. I feel that I am emo but friends think im more of a skater / mosher kind of person. Its my mind and what Ive been through that gives me the thought that I am emo. Ive been called emo a few times but I ignore it. Calling me an emo never gets to me. Always wondered why the classes for special needs people always had people who couldnt behave. On my 2nd year I can recall this guy who was a psycho who almost beat me up but luckily his friends were restraining him. He was disturbing and loud. I couldnt always cope with that issue and it depressed me, nearly driving me out of College and from where I live. Why did everything have to get to me? Felt happy that I finally found councelling that I can see now and again if something is getting to me. The people at Student Services in College are always the people I thought I could see and theyve done some bits for me over being bullied. I found their service much better than the teachers at School as they treat you like a child. Even students treated me like a child. Why though? I always knew how to behave. I never mugged anyone, never broke someones window, never got jealous of someone and never broke the law. I only hid having 'Aspergers' because I felt things would just get worse. Nobody else with a form of condition like mine was getting treated right and I did not know what to do. Always tried finding ways to sort out my fitting in difficulties with others. Simply it failed. I barely know anyone who has Aspeger Syndrome. I'm like the only person with Asperger Syndrome throughout my town???? Everyone else I met throughout the Options Courses was into rap,rnb,pop kind of music. I couldnt fit in with those sort of people, there was nothing to help me. Ive had people who were supposed to be friends but instead abused my friendship with bullying and saying nasty things about me and others. Why did I make friends with some certain people in the first place? Always preferred people who liked rock/metal/indie/punk or emo music. I thought those kind of people would be the easiest to be friends with. Some people just get themselves or others a bad name which some have already have done which involved me. At School I was probably one of the only ones in my year liking rock,indie,heavy metal etc and everyone else treated me wrong. Why couldnt I be friends with everyone like almost everyone else in the year was? Why have people not listened to me? Why have people believed a certain thing they hear or get told about me? I have felt forced several times into suffering from the clutches of bullies.
