| I learn foreign languages to read only. I won't ever go abroad so there's no point in me trying to speak or listen to them. I want to be a translator from the foreign language into English. |

| Hi Hannah, I'm pretty new here myself and am also in the South East (Kent). In an ideal world I would work from home over the internet and corresponde via email or instant message but not use the telephone because I am petrified of talking on the phone as well. Do you think there is any scope for t... |

| At Lower school I never spoke at all, but soon as I got home I was my usual cheerful self. I made friends with a couple of girls and sailed through middle school, but then it all fell apart at upper school where I got depressed and badly bullied. All my friends deserted me and I haven't had any frie... |

| I find I get very obsessed about things, to the point that it depresses me, so what I do is I spread my obsessions around, so if one thing goes wrong, I have others to fall back on. For example if I am obsessed with the internet, and then we lose the connection for a few hours, it used to really ann... |

| Whenever I've held a conversation with a neighbour or somebody, I spend hours then scrutinising everything I've said, and I am convinced I said something embarrassing, so then I hide myself away so I don't have to talk to them! Oh that is so me. I even do it on line. You wouldn't believe how many t... |

| hannahd, I too hate the label, and any test where three out of twelve gets you tossed in AS pit I have my doubts about. They had to come up with something, and as there are 10,000 here with varying symtoms, more defined by what they are not, we each have to live our own lives. I print books from ho... |

| Welcome,I hope you'll find it really useful here. I have such problems trying to relate to people and understand them and them me. The fact that even family we know very well can't make sense of us is I believe what really sets us apart from neurotypicals aka 'ordinary' people. When in social situa... |

| I don't like the label because people who don't know much about AS just make assumptions about you. They think you're obsessed with things and have no emotional intelligence, which in my case is not true. I only have some of the symptoms, but when you're given a label, people tend to write you off. |

Anywhere I can be myself and just relax, be it my own bedroom, the garden or the park.
I am a happy person who doesn't really need the company of others, although I enjoy people's company on the internet because there is no eye contact. |

| Hiya. Welcome to WP. Hope you like it here. Not all of the symptoms have to fit with Asperger's. Difficulty in socialising and talking with people is a major part of having Asperger's though, no doubt about that. :) What part of Britain do you come from, if I may ask? I come from the East Anglia re... |

| Hi My name is Hannah. I am 27 years of age, and I am officially diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, although without meaning to cause offence to anyone, I hate the label, as I don't think all my symptoms fit. I feel terrified in other people's company. And I don't just mean strangers, but people I ha... |
