Hey.
So I've come here looking for answers. I'm 19 years old, had quite a rough time recently, and having Aspergers to top it off isn't really the best thing. I'm not all doom and gloom, but I think a support network like this is needed.
Despite having plenty of friends (got in with the "geek" clique quite young) I still have many issues and difficulties, things I don't understand about myself, or the mind I was born with.
I've always been kind of unmotivated, a bit of a dreamer, and in my own head. The less in my own fantasy world I am, the less happy I feel. And to be honest the older you get, the damn more confusing this strange world we've been born into tends to be.
I'm convinced this is one of the most surreal realities I could have found myself in. And even worse, no instructions for "life" and criticism from people who expect me just to "get it" immediately and work within the frameworks and standards they have set for me...
My girlfriend has Aspergers too. We're quite happy together and even though it isn't always easy to understand relationships and such, we still have alot of love for each other. She's saved me from myself many, many times in the past.
I've more or less been forced to adapt socially and fit in with others, many of the symptoms I used to have are not present now, although they still are there, obviously, just based upon the way things have panned out for me. Aspergers isn't easily hidden.
So I hope I get answers here. Respond to this post or don't. Doesn't really bother me.
