Description
My mom originally did this computer art drawing for me but I decided to do a remake of it. Whenever i'm upset,I look at it to help me understand myself more. I know it sounds silly,but it sort of helps. I had no idea where to put this,so I put it in ASCII,even though it isn't an image made from computer text,it's more of a word project I did in Macromedia Fireworks MX. Asperger's Syndrome is a psychological disorder I have that's very much like mild autism. Napoleon Dynamite and Deb both display certain behaviors of it. Forgive me for the crappy spacing,I just edited it to have it make more sense.Related content

Wow... You've described me well. I, too, have Asperger's syndrome, but thanks to awesome parenting and teachers, I am basically average (just a tad neurotic, but in a benign sense). Kudos!

Hmm...Asperger's Syndrome. Sounds familiar. Is that, by any chance, a form of autism?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes. It's a form of High Functioning Autism. But it isn't Autism all by itself. Research it a little 83

I was diagnosed a year ago. This completely explains me.

This scares me, it seems like I have lots of these symptoms, but I've never had myself diagnosed for anything.

yea this is soo much like me but i tend to try to not bother with it

I have to agree on all of this. I have AS too and it hurts to be alone. I feel rejected, alone, afraid, and even depressed. It hurts so much right now, when I read this, I'm crying for reasons beyond me, but I understand this perfectly because I WANT to learn more about my condition.
I want to be alone, but I don't want to. I don't like being touched, but feel a desire to be hugged and loved. I'm scared of what others will think about me when I speak my mind, so I become withdrawn and use games as an excuse. My mind likes to think a lot and I often get headaches for nothing, but I don't care, reading and my imagination, including talking to myself, has kept me sane from my loneliness and depression and I'm fine with it. I don't like a change of rountine, especially when things happen without warning, or when plans are changed when I'm prepared for the goodness of it.
My Anxiety is both my friend and my enemy. I snap at people a lot and I can't stop, refusing to back down from a challenge until the worse comes, but it also puts me at a distance from nearly everybody else. I can't think of what else to say about it, but it can be a painful and unhappy thing...

the history of my life
iยดm aspie too an i agreed whit you in each of your words one same one is only understood

Very true.
Living a life as an aspie isn't quite nice, but nice at the same time. It has its flaws and difficulties. But we're smart, and we can learn faster than an original person can.

I have asperger, but I heard there are posers on here that clam they have it so they can get extra credit on their artwork. It really sickens me to come here sometimes.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
They all ring so true with me. I work with the general public, and even though I'm nice, I can very awkward to work with. It's a thing that takes a lot of practice and a lot of time to get right.
I am a poster child for escapism. Go to my dA gallery and see all the pics I have for Tootie from the cartoon Fairly Odd Parents. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars having commissions done, and it's gonna be hundreds more, though I have some kind of direction for them that I didn't have earlier.
I usually don't disclose my diagnosis with anyone because I'm afraid of special treatment or rejection--and speaking of that, I take that pretty hard myself.
Nice Poster, and thanks.

This is done really well. It describes things and makes it easier to explain to other people.

You know, after reading this, I realize I suffer from a lot of these symptoms, though I've become pretty good about dealing with these problems as years have gone by.
I just got done reading about it on Wikipedia, and for all I know I might have it too, wouldn't surprise me since I always kinda felt there was something weird about me, though I do know I have OCD, albeit on and off due to my laziness overriding it. A great deal of it synchs up. I've always been the shy guy who always likes random specific hobbies, such as expanding my knowledge of voice actors/actresses, and yet I lack common real world knowledge, such as most physics and general scientific knowledge. I hate making eye contact, and usually miss something really obvious that everyone gets right off the bat. Anxiety gets to me so easily and reality seems to feel like a burden. I also constantly think of myself in another world, coexisting amongst my favorite characters (especially with female characters that I've been attracted to) in various scenarios, sort of like I'm mentally role playing. I also have weird spastic hand fidgeting when I get excited which has calmed down over the years luckily. The good thing is, I've become a hell of a lot more social these days, and I have no problem being the life of the party if I am comfortable with it.
I think I recall you from somewhere before, I think you've posted on ADGTH vids on Youtube if I'm not mistaken. Yeah that's it, I remember now, you talked about how hot Sasha was and if it weren't for the fact that I am uncomfortable with looking stupid by posting replies to old comments, I would of replied with "amen brother" or something to that degree.

i also have aspergers and for me making friends is hard because you dont know what they will say.good job.there is nothing wrong with people that have aspergers we are unique in are own way.

This is cool. I have asperger's, so I understand it.

My boyfriend has Asperger's Syndrome.
At first I couldn't tell, but after spending nearly a year with him I can see clearly how it affects him. I love him with all my heart. This deviation is a favorite for sure <3
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
It's nice to know there are others. Over the years, however, you kind of adapt to the "average" world. However, it's more like you're acting. I feel like I'm just "pretending" so that I'll fit in. It helps me get through the day, but at the same time it makes me cringe as well.

I also have AS and this describes me well except the first one. I don't worry that much. But I was recently reading a New York Times article about how AS affects males and females differently. Apparently a lot of girls with AS go undiagnosed because the traits in the male version are better known.

I've never went to anyone about this kind of thing.. I only started looking into it tonight.. found it by accident, really. But I started reading into it, and I swear to you, this would explain a LOT about me... It be a lot to explain in a comment.. but I really think I have Aspergers... Especially since almost everything on that list applies to me, more or less. Some things do vary. But it's there, alright.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Yup, I have Aspergers...pretty much accurate. I only got the diagnosis last year and I honestly don't know much about it. I've found I relate very closely to people who have Aspergers, I can get along with them pretty well. So yeah...if anyone else here has it (which apparently most people who commented have)don't be afraid to contact me, I need more friends. >.<

I really needed this. You see (going on a tangent, bear with plz) My mom is a Guidance Conselor (She's worked in Elm. Middle, and High school) and not too long ago she told me about asperger's syndrome, about how all of my quriks fit the bill. Before she told me about it, I just though I had ADD and OCD. Looking back now, everything in my 14 short years seems to make a hecka more sense now.
It's still kind of hard tothink that everything that made me an individual was a syndrome. Both and my little sister were pre-me babies and she has full autisim and ceberal pasly. She's a year younger than me and is still wearing diapers, talk about fun.
Anxiety I still have alot of issues with, luckly I had good friends from Elm. all the way through middle school. They helped me out of my shell a bit and gave me my golden sense of humor. And I have to agree with you, reality is boring.... really really boring. I'd rather make me own little doodle worl than to listen to all the high school drama that one of my friends can't get enough of. As for video games, Okami (ps2) and Sims 2 (ps2 and pc) are my favorites... along with DBZ games. -supah fun-
Despite the new title, nothing much has changed.
Thanks again for posting this!

I have it,too. Sometimes it's hard to talk to people because I don't make eye contact....

I don't have asperger but I'm exactly like you. It's so hard to live like that. I would hug you if I were close to you and didn't feel unconfortable with it...

I myself have just gotten diagnosed with Aspeger's.
I'm scared...
I've also ended up with depression and now I'm taking meds for it.
But...I don't know what to expect now.

Thanks for posting this. I do not have Asperger, but my brother does. I'm trying to understand him and this really helps. Thank you again

Aspies would make an awesome name for chips.

I have Asperger Syndrome as well and I agree with you about all that stuff.

as for me i mostly play super smash bros melee and maple story

I too have Asperger's. I always fear of doing the wrong thing; people still don't really understand why I act so 'differently'; It takes me so long to overcome wrongdoings; and I've made a little secret world in my mind just to try to escape stressful moments. I shall fave this!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Soem things i just can't explain,. but this is helping very much, although i only have PDD-NOS i know every thing that autisme can bring.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Every word of this is absolutely true. I have Asperger's and I deal with these things all the time. Especially the part about escapism. Thank you for making this piece.

Einstein and Isaac Newton had it, too.

Great job. 100% accurate.
-Is also an Aspie-
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
that is very cute.
My B/f is an Aspie and I understand some things he has a different view on that I don't but we get along very well
I am doing a research paper on Asperger's Syndrome. Was originally not going to do this topic but i wanted to learn more. I don't want to just go by what the books tell me getting the Aspie point of view on things might help if you are interested you can note me .

...I'm an Asperger too.
and the number 11 kinda freaks me out.
Good job you did.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Yeah, I know. Mom told me when I was seven. The Routine thing isn't really there for me; it's been replaced by isolation. Also, your depiction of 11 is much more sophisticated then mine. Mine's like two crazy straws side by side.

I was diagnosed with this a few years ago. I don't even want to remember all the embarrasing social situations I've encountered in my life. It IS tough, don't doubt for a second, but AS doesn't make us better or worse than anyone else.
