Having skipped pop culture, developed my own view of the universe, I thought there might be others.
Most of what I found has been talk of treatment, learning to fit in through drugs and psychobabble.
I chose Cosmic Awareness over Mass Culture. Why would anyone want to be NT? |

Sorry Lyetta for going off topic. I'm pretty new and I don't know how I survived without WP.
You are very spunky, Lyetta. Make sure you visit the dino cafe.

| I have been reading the threads. I found one on religion and philosophy, which are my favorite topics. There is someone who writes so well on one of the threads. THis person was able to describe so much of what it is like inside of me. I am so grateful to wrong planet for these connections. my life would be so much lonelier without all of you. i wish i could say something really interesting to prompt lots of discussion, but right now i think i am a better listener.

What bought me here was, the hope that I would find others that face similar challenges to what I do.
Also, I wanted to find a place where I wouldn't feel ashamed to speak of how I feel, it looks like I have found that place. |

Hi Lyetta, nice chatting to you yesterday  I was CG5106 or some number.
Anyway, what brought me to Wrong Planet? I guess feeling isolated and like I was weird etc made me decide to look for an Aspergers board. I have thought that I had aspergers for a while, I have things like impaired social skills and am withdrawn and I say strange things much of the time...
I could write a lot more but I am feeling weirdly chilled out today and dont feel like writing. I am working in an office and someone is playing jazz and there is an ambient vibe. Even the fact that I feel like an alien isnt bothering me at the moment.
I had so many issues at the start of this year, I have been on the verge of a breakdown. It has been interesting to read threads by so many people going through the same stuff as me.
Unfortunately computers cause a lot of sensory overload for me so I will not be a big poster but I will drop in from time to time...
thx for reading and God Bless...
C

Hi everyone,
I am new to this list; my therapist suggested that I join a list such as this so I can talk to others with asperger's syndrome.
I was diagnosed a few years ago, when my son was diagnosed. We live in Barbados (in the Caribbean) with my wife, Margaret, who does not have asperger but who suffers from RP (retenitis pigmentosa) a degenerative eye condition which has her legally blind for the last ten years.
My unique view of the world puts us at loggerheads quite often but therapy has allowed us both to get along better.
Before joining I read a few posts and was pleasently suprised to see quite a few statements that I associated with, specially liked the comments on birthdays being for everyone else.
I've finally been able to convince my wife that my birthday is my day and I'll do what I want and what I want is to do something for me and not to have a big party for everyone else.

I started here because I simply don't get much social contact. I have a lonely job and I don't really talk to people I play bball with or do dancing with. I just go, and leave. Here I can be myself and not have to worry about fitting in or weirding people out.
That and I already found a social group that meets in my area so hopefully that goes well because it would be nice to let the hair down without masking all the time. Though its second nature i'll see how I go.
Apart from that, it's helpful reading posts because the people here have gone through or are going through or are about to go through the exact same stuff that I have/am/and will. So it's good to get perspectives. More than that though I am here to socialise. Because I don't like doing it IRL, it's too exhausting. |
