(User Info | Send a Message | Journal) | | I disagree here... I'm not a supermodel, but I would have to say that I fall into the category of being 'pretty' with a nice figure and all... very nice in fact. But I have had hard times, nice looking or not, I just avoid people and stay silent, maybe I wouldn't be stereotyped and avoided because of my weight, but I went by with next to noone stopping and talking to me or anything, so pretty or not you can still have social problems.
There are other things apart from being fat as well. Walking into doors, while I try to laugh it off and make it seem funny, gets old after a while. All throughout elementary school I was picked on non-stop because I refused to wear pants, and only wore skirts, and did everything in them, climbing on jungle gym, racing, tag, jumprope, hopscotch, whatever. I had like one friend, and everyone else picked on me-- I really wanted to leave school, almost every day I came home crying, so no I wasn't fat, but that doesn't change the fact I didn't have any social problems or wasn't picked on or seen as something /else/.
Yes, maybe Heather doesn't have the social problems you did, nor have I, but thats just what life is, everyone has their own set of issues and situations, and not one person is exactly like anyone else. Nor do you know about anyone else's problems, the best you can do is offer your advice for you, and hope it works for others. Just because you don't think she had trouble doesn't mean she does, and just because you may have (not saying you did, since you never said it, but the way you spoke suggested) had different problems doesn't mean that they cannot be overcome in a similar way.
As a final note, I think you place too much importance upon looks yourself, since you think that that is an honest reason why one couldn't experience any such problems. Prettiness is a plus, no doubt about it, but that isn't everything. If you are overweight (again, implied but not stated), then you should know that life doesn't revolve around being beautiful or thin, there is more to a person than that. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Or maybe Heather is a reminder that aspergers comes in all outside packages: thin, fat, tall short, attractive, average. On the inside we all struggle with the same issues. Being pretty doesn't automatically get an aspie accepted by others. Dating was nonexistent for her in high school. A NT who looked like her would have guys all over her in high school.
I think that having good looks does give a person a bit of an advantage when it comes to first impressions. However, beauty cannot make up for social skills. People REALLY judge based on those. |

(User Info | Send a Message | Journal) http://www.dragonytes.com | | Well, in my twenties people thought I was a model, and I had all the looks of being one, but my social life wasn't any better than now, at least now in my late 40s and no longer all that attractive by catalog standards, at least men aren't trying to take advantage of me, and my lack of social skills. |
