i don't like people mispronouncing 'aspergers'

or calling it a disability, even if it is.

or saying that i "suffer" from it.

Being an as*hole when I don't want to be one.

The needs that other people are not aware of.

Sensory sensibility, there's this girl in my job who loves listening music at maximum volume, but it isn't like I can complain so I just wear noise cancelling headphones and always end up feeling bad, One time I complained and she just said I was being egoistic and disrespectful. . . anyway.
Plus, the little knowledge of it in my country.

Oh, man! You should have answered: "Look who´s talking!". Aren´t there a couple more people, who would like to protest against her mega volume?

I feel trapped inside my own mind (which is pretty loud), stuck with routines and addictions that prevent me from achieving my goals (I have a strong desire to change, i hate routine, but whenever I try to change I get overwhelmed and scared), and the stereotypes, of course (I don't like sciences at all; I s**k in maths; I'm VERY imaginative and i can pretend play; I'm VERY sarcastic, but i not always understand when people be sarcastic to me; I have empathy and sense of humor!)

i have never had many sensory overloads ever, until some exceptional incident today.
i was walking out of my therapy session today, i told my dad before i went in that i would like to order a pizza when we got home. the herapy session went well, no complaint there, but i was not expecting my father to give me his phone, with the pizza lady already on the line, right when we walked out before i had a chance to make up my mind as to what i would be indulging in later. we walked to his car, in a small parking lot and the tenant right across the small lot was practicing violin loudly. i know i am making Himalayas out of a molehill, but the playing of the violin, plus a persistent pizza lady on the line waiting for me to order a pie i do not know, and my dad verbally rushing me made pizza ordering impossible and i'm sure i let him down. :lol:

besides, i order the same thing all the time anyway, could have just went with a large pepperoni but i felt like i needed to spice things up a bit. :P exactly how i did not know!

I hate the low barrier for anxiety and depression.

Sensory issues
Not being able to handle change easily
Being made to feel like some kind of weirdo just because I'm not an uber-extrovert and I prefer focusing on my hobbies
Slower mental processing
Being clumsier than average
Having a greater predisposition to mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and OCD
Communication issues
Innate "self-centeredness" caused by TOM deficits

There are plenty of things that suck about being on the spectrum, though honestly, if I wasn't an aspie, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I have my problems, but a lot of people value my intelligence, my talent in certain specific areas, and the fact that I can provide insight from a different point of view. Of course, a lot of people also think that I need to be "whipped into shape" and given an attitude adjustment, so that I can be just like everyone else. Those people are what I call ignorant a**holes.

That is exactly, what is hard for people to grasp: Talent and brilliance alongside with handicap in a normal looking person, - for the same reason, that they can´t understand how intellectual interests and enjoyment of very primitive" stuff, like conversations between anglers can go hand in hand.
Things must stay/be understandable within established categories. (who´s "autistic" then? 8) )
