Hobbies Video games & Aspergers

Video games were all that existed for me when I was little. In time I realized there was more to life.

I think there is a link in video games and as. Even with ADHD and video games. I think the video games does do concentration.

@Shoes454 Do you think it helps us concentrate? I think there is something very mesmerizing about it to ADHD kids and the colors and graphics are strangely addicting. It helps coordination also.

Hey Dude.....for me it was the game: Banjo&Kazooie. It totally sucked me in, because I transferred myself into the characters. My social life was almost non-existent, because people never got the whole video game 'addiction'....( and also because they thought I was weird for being into ghosts and spirits and always visiting graveyards). Thank you for uploading videos again! Love to your hubbie!! XX

@gyqz I haven't really tried that one. Glad you understand video game addiction and not having friends. I still want to make videos but I have another job now and less time but I always have videos I want to make.

@sillygayboy yes it does

@SillyGayBoy  Yeah, I think AS is genetic. But I was adopted.

@misspinkpunkykat My dad has a lot of AS traits which is where I think I got it from. Boyfriend says we have very similar speaking and physical mannerisms. He's super smart with reading stuff but not with social stuff. I'm smarter with social stuff but not with book stuff. He has the lacking empathy part of autism at least somewhat; like thinking I should do better in school when I really couldn't. "Look Me In The Eye" the authors son had less Asperger's then he did.

@SillyGayBoy My parents never really cared about my lack of friends and were always telling me how some people aren't really one's friends and that I should only worry about people that matter. My parents have a LOT of AS traits themselves.

@clb0884 You're welcome and yes life for me is much better as an adult. It makes a lot more sense. It sounds like it's the same for you.
