Just Curious...
posted at 08:18 pm on 05-01-2009
I'm in a sort of tight place. I have a boyfriend, and we're coming up on six months soon. I really like him and have already met his parents. Things have been going really well.
The thing is, another guy asked me out. I told him I'd think about it and talk to him later. I really like him. I really like them about the same amount.
See, this in and of itself is not the problem. The problem is that this is not the first time I've been in this situation. Specifically, this is about the fifth.
Does anyone else experience this? I'm wondering if this is something any of you have experienced, and if it is common among AS people or if this is just me. Also, any advice?

Are we weird?

I know I've already posted today, but this was weighing on my mind and I had to put it out there to get your opinions on it.
At my old school, I was picked on a lot for being different. I didn't know anything about AS at that point, so I just assumed that I was actually just going to be weird all my life without any explanation. When I got my diagnosis, I was so happy that I had a reason not to be normal.
Recently, I've been doing some thinking. I've been watching documentaries today about all sorts of things; the first was about AS, then about extreme phobias, then eating disorders, then diabetes, then about terminal stds. All these extremes got me thinking, how not normal am I?
Of all the things that are not normal, it seems like everyone should have at least one "not normal" thing about them. If this is true, than why are these things considered "not normal"? If you think about it that way, we're really just as normal as normal can be. Thinking that way really makes me feel better about not being able to do some things because everybody has something that makes them "different". It's the people that are "normal" that turn out to be the odd ones in the long run.

Second posting!

Hello again people. I really don't have anything in my own personal life that's bothering me, so I'm just going to go on to general discussion.
Does anybody besides me have sensory issues? I have huge problems with visual and hearing. I hear high pitch sounds and they literally physically hurt me. It's horrible because it does physically hurt to certain people, including my little brother. I hate it.
Visually, I have very similar problems. Light does actually hurt me, especially in public places. It hurts and I don't know what to do about it. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or similarities?

Hey everybody

Hey people. My name is Angela and if you are NT that's all you need to know about me. If not, feel free to read on.
I'm fourteen and live in Florida. I was diagnosed at thirteen with AS. I am a SUPER grammar and spelling freak.
My main reason for getting on this website is to try and find some people my age to level with. Everyone I've met with AS is either old and it doesn't bother them as much or really young and really don't know that anything is different about them. I just want to meet people in the middle who share my same problems.
Another thing I want to talk to people about is who to tell about my diagnosis. I've decided not to tell my school because if I do they'll send me straight to the autistic unit. Trust me, not very many of them are high functioning.
That just leaves my friends and boyfriend. I told my ex-boyfriend and sometimes wonder if that's why we broke up. Then I realized that I really doubted that since he was AS also. I don't know if my new boyfriend is, but I've decided I'm not going to tell him unless he asks or if he says something super offensive.
None of my friends know, but my mother takes the liberty of telling every soul she meets. I really don't mind her otherwise, but I hate when she calls up relatives we haven't spoken to in years just to tell them. Anybody experience something similar?
