Asperger Syndrome Problem?

Question

I'm 16 and have Asperger Syndrome. People think I am weird but I don't think I am weird. Is this normal? It is really ruining my life.

Answer 1

Different perhaps, but not weird.

People with Aspires usually have ( positive ) qualities that a normal person does not. When you get to know them, they are very caring, understanding people. Am i right in thinking that Aspergers is a mild form of Autism ? I can understand why people would think that people with full blown Autism are weird as their behavior is noticeably abnormal, but already i can tell that you are not that badly affected by it and have the potential to lead a normal life. If you was that " weird " you would not be able to use a computer.

    

At the end of the day, you have Aspergers and nothing you or anyone elsese says/does can change that, so be proud of who you are and make the most of your life.  

Answer 2

I too have Asperger's Syndrome. People think I act weird too whenever I escape into my own brain and live in there while everyone else is socializing and laughing with their friends. There is currently no cure fro the Autism spectrum disorder Asperger's syndrome, but there is treatment through spoken therapy and some medications can help the problem's other symptoms, such as withdrawl from other family members and constant irritability. If you know for sure that something is wrong with you, that doesn't make you weird. The interesting thing about this disorder is you aren't afraid to make someone clear of how you feel if they make you mad, but don't take this advice unless you really want to prove them wrong: SCREAM at them! Just lose all your temper and blow them away with words on how insensitive and descriminant they're being, and be sure to throw in a couple obscene words and point out a few flaws on them. I did this before, and every time I do it, they're never on my back again.

PS: There's a good song you can download on Limewire or purchase on a CD. The lead singer of a rock group called "The Vines" has Asperger syndrome and describes how it has affected his relationship with his family in this song: Spaceship by the Vines
