I would love to chat with you. My son was diagnosed with Aspergers last year with ALL of your symptoms My heart hearts because I see my son in you. He is 8 1/2 now and has GREATLY improved and is improving everyday.
Like a person having to cope with a panic attach and talking themselves through it...You may find you need to take time to put your self in the right frame to not set your own self up for failure. You may find you have to take and reassess what is happening, put things into proper perspective & then reframe the thoughts in your mind and change the outcome you produce for better results for yourself. Make sense, if not write me and i will explain. angels1_4_u@yahoo.com.
One coping tip 2 consider w/work & negative situatons & being2serous. Take a moment & reframe thoughts. Realze that ur boss may b affected by other stimuli & not only his disappointmnt in somethng w/ u alone. Put things into proper perspective & take a momnt be4 reactng, this can save ur azz. If u take time 2 take things slower & digest what just hapened, u may find it isnt as bad as u are allowng ur mind 2let it get, take the intensty of the momnt & click it down 2 knotches & reframe & rethink.
i also think that any characteristics or symptoms that relate to people with aspergers all come back to and are based on stimulation. Assessing and then emplimenting anything dealing with stimulation in any way shape or form is the core of what aspergers is all about. I think that in order to cope with this condition you find you have to have your moments of peace and your moments of expressions,and they have to be the way YOU in particular need to have them!
i think aspergers is different for each individual and some are affected in more severe ways then are others. I do think that aspergers does affect parts of your brain. Depending on the parts of the brain affected, this determines what "symptoms" a person with aspergers has. To each person, their own afflictions of differenent schmorgusboard of symptoms. Again i thank you for your insight...i like i think many are very grateful of all you have given us!!
You've verbalized that which I've never been able to explain to my wife. I was diagnosed @ 36 when my 2yr old son was also diagnosed. I became a truck driver (in a rural area) so that I could be alone with my thoughts and not be social. I have trouble even ordering a pizza. We are all different. I have limited interests but I'm really into that which I am interested in. Mainly philosophy. One piece of advice I feel comfortable giving is that it gets better as you get older. I was hopeless once.
I actually posess some of these 'symptoms' but I don't have anything
I don't know how to react when people are crying ect. I find small talk hard and pointless and I don't know why I should try and talk to people in such a way. I also have mild panic attacks when I am surrounded by people I don't know/social conventions, in a way I am still very childike yet people see me as much more put together and confident and I only joke mostly because it's always been a pathway to connect with others.
@TheTragicopheliac -- You should probably research Asperger's Syndrome and other autism spectrum information sources. :) Even if you don't go for a professional diagnosis, at least you can seek out community help and support from other autists and Aspies. If nothing else, maybe you'll get a better understanding about yourself and your life! Never a bad thing. :)
I actually went to my gp she has sent my information forward to a mental health clinic. I mainly went because my mother was worried about my state of mind in terms of not hurting myself/ detatchment to the idea of suicide. I am unfortunately at the age when many teenagers feel they have problems ,and therefore I had to clarify that I have had 'issues' having sympathy ect for a long time and I don't handel them in healthy way or use them for attention like most teenagers ect'
@TheTragicopheliac -- That's good that your GP forwarded your information on. I can understand your mother's concern. Just know that, no matter what diagnosis you get, things can and will be just fine, maybe even awesome. It just takes time and patience--which are two things teenagers tend not to be strongest in (especially Aspies!) but it's doable! Especially with a strong support system. :) Good luck and best wishes.
literal basically as oppose to metaphorical or speaking in allegory. Seeing things in black and white means dealing in absolutes or generalizing everything, seeing it as this way or that way but no in between. People with aspergers, so i have read, are literal in their communication, they speak plainly i guess
@perez6313 If you find an understanding partner,then a relationship can work,with some Aspies though they like their own space a lot,but if their partner is understanding it shouldn't be a probem,also there's things like the lack of expression and emotion the NT might find that difficult,they will feel unloved and confused and wonder if their Aspie partner really loves them etc.
if I understand it's in a comedic setting, then I understand the joke, but jokes as a part of a conversation I usually don't get or am the last to get (as I reassess what was said after hearing laughter).
I have a penchant for puns, so I usually catch those while others don't ^_^.
For me it's not a matter of understanding, for me it's a matter of not being given enough information, and getting preoccupied with questions or a flaw in the logic of the joke.
That's so weird, because everything you just said is me, I've never been diagnosed with Aspergers, just ADHD, but you nailed it head-on, especially jokes in conversation, I', always the last to realize somebody just said a joke, otherwise I'm fully in-tune with the conversation in all seriousness.
Another great video! I don't know when it's a good time to talk to my son about his having Asperger's. I will definitely share these videos with him. He'll see himself in you as you share many of the same characteristics. Do you think it would have helped you to know that you had Asperger's when you were younger? Thank you.
@panchobrinks - my parents didn't tell me I had aspergers syndrome till I was 17 years old, though I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old. I think knowing sooner would have helped me personally, I stopped blaming my self all the time once I know my diagnose and it explained a lot. I also think I would be less interested in Asperger's know had I know sooner.
People with Aspergers are cute like this person :). I think My almost 5 year old Son has it, & hes cute & sweet. His little Sister adores him. Girls always liked him, & wanted to play with him even though he never approached them. Once approached by girls, he loved to play with them. 1 girl he loved playing hide & seek with she was as playful as he was, & he didn't want to say goodbye to her but he had to, she had to go have her photo. H had to have his family photo with us at the photo studio.
It is so freakin hard to have friends when youre aspie. i`ve also lost friends due to that but fortunately this year i`ve known a friend who is helping me a lot and that is something that I really appreciate. I now know there are good people outside thing that i didnt believed in before.
Hi, I just want to say that your video was very helpful for me and my husband. Our 10 years old got diagnosed with Asperger symdroms last month and it's all new to us on how to deal with that. Keep doing videos...I'll be watching and you are right Asperger is not a disease but a personality disorder. My son is struggling so much right now...maybe you can help us to try to remember how it was when you were 10yrs. Thanks!!! :)
You explain very good these things you feel and posses. I am going to reply after I seen more videos so I can get the whole picture before replying. Also My own AS investigation might be done by then .
My son is recovering for Aspergers.

Good point. That duality of wanting things predictable and being bored easily.
It doesn't leave a lot of things to do other than practicing your limited interests over and over again.
