I wish people can accept Aspergers. Can Aspergers make you act bad? Can Aspergers make you more depress, more anxiety, anxious, panic attacks & more hyperventilating? It is harder to control your anger? What do you do when people can’t accept you? What if your family can’t accept you, how do your deal? My family accept my Cerebral Pasly, but they don’t know my limits of what I can do, my mom told me my sister was in denial about my Cerebral Pasly. I been emailing my cousin, that was a mistake. She in denial about my Asperger, she wants to be tough with me & push me to do stuff like go out more & socialize. She wants me to be somebody I’m not anymore.

And never was or will be.

How Asperger's core traits present themselves differs based on your personality, other co-occurring conditions, and your environment(people you have to deal with, sensory inputs, life's stresses etc.)

You are still same person like before you found out your diagnosis.

What do you do when people can’t accept you?
When people don't accept me I avoid contact with them. I don't know if this is good advice.
If you told someone about your AS and he or she didn't accept it and if he/she don't want understand you, I think that is unnecessary talk with him about it again.

Quote:
What if your family can’t accept you, how do your deal?
I don't want tell it my parents or siblings because I believe they couldn't accept it. When I think if I should tell someone about my AS main question is why this person need know it. And they don't need know it. They should solve my problems when I was young but now I don't see any reason why they should know about my AS. I don't need accepting from them. But I don't live with them and I am glad that they don't interfere with my life.

If your cousin wants something, you don't have to do what she want. You can do what you want.

Maybe you shouldn't deal so much what other people think about you.

If someone refuses to accept you as you are, you either have to cut ties or just accept it and find someone who will. You can try and try but some people never change. Distance yourself from your cousin if she's being toxic.
