 |
|
I recently had a stay in an eating disorders clinic (but i'm glad to say that i'm fully recovered now) and as a workshop we had to draw our eating disorder.
I drew mine as an ice sculpture; something that is perfect and beautiful but as you get close to it and the warmth from your body transfers to it it becomes something misshapen and ugly.
But anyway, try and describe your aspergers as a physical entity, it can be abstract or conventional, there are no wrong answers! (ok im beginning to sound like a therapist  ) |

| A ball of yarn. You can see it's complex and made of tangles, but you wouldn't describe it as ugly or bad, in fact, there's harmony in its ball like-shape. |

A bit like 'Rajun Cajun' James Carville.

I don't know what mine looks like. I've never pictured it. I just think of it as the word ''Asperger's Syndrome'', it shows up in my mind, and that's it.

I like this description.
Mine reminds me of a modern-style library, with all the fancy metal rails and glass railings and windows. It looks and sounds big, fancy, and impressive with all of its knowledge and complexity, but to me it's just home. Everyone else just thinks it looks like M.C. Escher's Relativity Stairs.

Hmm... drawing an aspect of myself?... Okay... hmmm....
There. A hypercube. Symmetrical, orderly, mathematically defined, but just a little hard to picture all at once.

In high school I drew it as me in a big empty box in the centre of a space created by a huge group of people distancing themselves from the box - although I also always drew one person touching the box trying to get through to me or looking at me like an enigma (I always had a romantic idea that one day someone will finally get me, or that at least the odd few special people will try).
Now I'd say it's a big wall collage full of RED AND SHINY AND STUFF AND RAR - just a big in-your-face confusing muddle of things that express who I am, but that's so confused that although the elements of who I am are in there somewhere everything is so messed-up and hyper-revved-up that the big picture isn't clearly defined...but it doesn't matter anyway, because it's behind a nice smartly presented screen that no one can see through.

I like it better than my analogy.  |

I don't know what my AS would look like I just think if I was a fruit i would be a pomegranate. it looks weird, misshapen with a hard shell but there are all these surprises inside.

I'd say it looks like an infrared camera vs. an NT's regular camera.
Looking at the same world at different wavelengths of the EM spectrum.

A Rubik's Cube? Looks all mixed up, but it's actually quite easy to deal with, once you know how it works.
IDK Just a thought.
