I have Aspergers:
I cannot make close friends I am basically incapable of getting interpersonal relationships.
I get anxious and discouraged simply.
I get stressed out from alter even tiny change
I are unable to hold a conversation going besides about my interests but most of the time people never want to discuss about the items I can chat about.
I very seldom get out of the home.
Folks are my range 1 pressure the conduct in men and women has large variability and unpredictability
Every thing is my lifestyle is by the policies and when items are by the rules then I get tension/angry/disappointed
People are mean to me and deal with me like a freak
Not excellent plenty of? Please Depart your very own answer in the comments!
Easter Seals of Mobile brought a amazing group of campers to ASCCA in early May possibly 2009. The Submit-Polio group has been coming to ASCCA for decades. The Autism Family members Weekend is a new camp. Extremely happy to have them be a part of us!
I can’t “read” people beyond the level of a fairly discerning child.
It can be hard for me to tell if someone is serious or not.
Little noises sometimes seem louder than they are, and the inverse can also be true.
I panic easily.
In private, I flap my hands and move my arms around when using my imagination and/or when excited. An example would be when I read. When I was a child, I did this in public.
I have a long memory. Some consider it too long. I also don’t have a delete button for my memory.
I am prone to obsessions. One of these is the obsession of going over and over my childhood, which I remember in negative detail. Yippee.
I am more negative and cynical than most people are by nature. (Some people with Autism/Asperger’s are the reverse.)
I have several allergies.
Because of my poor social skills, though I am an extrovert, many people do not take me seriously or misjudge me for something I am not.
I am quick to notice when children are having autism or sensory issues, and quick to empathize with the children.
I have Asperger’s too.
I experience a lot of what the other answers detailed… some stuff I’ve also noticed:
I either cannot concentrate on anything at all, or become so completely absorbed in doing something that I don’t do anything else for hours.
I get stressed out and short fused out if I’m around people (even family) for more than a few hours. I spend a lot of time inside the house, mostly in my room alone.
I don’t like it when anyone touches me.
I use little to no facial expression, unless I’m smiling or laughing. People tend to think I’m miserable or terrified because my face is always limp and blank, wide eyed. The moment I stop smiling it goes back to that.
I find it extremely difficult to keep appropriate eye contact – either I’m staring into their eyes, or I look away constantly. A lot of people comment on how often I “roll my eyes” or that I seem like I’m lying.
I don’t worry about much. Sometimes to a fault, because I don’t realize there is actually danger. (I’ve only recently become aware of this one)
I absolutely cannot stand synthetic fabrics.
I can’t really make or keep friends because people tend to think I’m miserable and shy, and when people actually do try to talk to me, I never know what to say, how to say it, how to act. There is no “natural” social interaction.
I like having a routine and organizing my things in a particular manner; when they are out of place or I don’t do something the way I normally do, I get uncomfortable until I redo it or change it.
Most of my life I’ve cried easily, especially when someone tries talking to me and I don’t know what to say or do…which just makes me stand out more and feel more uncomfortable. I still don’t feel like I can get emotionally close to anyone.
I am extremely uncoordinated and have no sense of rhythm. I always failed gym class in school because I can’t even run properly.
