About Me
posted at 08:23 am on 04-06-2010
My name is Scott and I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the end of eighth grade. I was placed in advanced classes at an early age and excelled in all areas of schoolwork. However, as the social scene became more prevalent, I begun to have difficulties that resulted in my grades declining. In high school I was placed in the Special Education department in hopes of gaining some support, but I received little to none. Many services were geared toward those who could not properly complete their work, and because I had no such troubles I found little solace. The school refused to tolerate things to make my life easier, such as wearing headphones when I walked in the halls to block out noise, and I had many run-ins with the administration. During my senior year things had become so rough that I completely gave up on my grades and almost didn’t graduate. After high school I spent a couple years broadening my horizons and discovering what the world is really about.
I’ve been going to college to become a computer programmer for about two years now. I don’t really talk to anyone in school and many of my old friends are too concerned with themselves to bother with me. People tend to be put off by me because I don’t find it necessary to speak often. My social skills were developing fairly well until after a complex combination of circumstances I decided that it was just better for everyone that I not speak my mind.
I decided to sign up here because I get no support from those in my life and can’t express myself to them. My chosen fields of interest tend to make people mad, in spite of them concerning the wellbeing of everyone in the world. I don’t have anyone or anywhere to turn to for true support, and I figured that I might be able to find some here. I hope to also find some knowledge on how to cope with day to day life having Asperger’s.
To those who cared enough to read this, I thank you.
~Scott
