Just gonna say you aren't aspergers, you have it or you're called an aspie, but you aren't the mental disorder itself.

Oh i can relate to this. Me and my brother both have it, and will shy away from the camera whenever possible
This is thus far the only deviantart post I have found when searching for aspergers that i can relate to

I feel like this every day. I also have aspergers. Kicks my ass often. Results however, in hindsight, can be funny or at least interesting with a sense of humor...for me at least. Wonderful picture.

We Aspies need build ourselves a community to help our people be themselves and feel safe from prejudice.

Agreed. Do you know of any deviant art groups we could join? o.o Maybe one of us could make one.

Here are some asperger groups you can join:
artistic-aspergers.deviantart.β¦
aspieauty.deviantart.com

I agree. Prejudice is an evil thing.

It does no one favors just look at history how many people of different races, genders, cultures, creeds, colours and whatever other differences have died, had their lives been ruined thanks to prejudice.Β
We Aspies are the newest group of people to face this crap now, its gonna take another 200 years for us to be accepted by society. It's just unfair especailly since we Aspies give society so many ideas like the Atom Bomb, art and other technologies or art through the centuries that have helped them so much.

People just need to be educated about aspergers, we have contributed a lot and they are just unaware. They need to be shown that we are not 'aliens', just different through the fact that our brains are wired differently. Just like how blacks have a different skin pigment.

Exactly my thoughts

I may have Aspergers, but I don't mind my picture being taken. But only by my mom or family cause anything else stresses me out....
π: 0 β©: 1
I know, it totally bugs me when people take pictures of me... Only my best friend may...

I do the exact same thing as your brother. Exspecially when in public places. Doesn't really help when people give you odd looks thought.

P.S. The correct term is Aspies, so it would be "How Aspies Hide..."

Dude!!! Boxes are so much fun!! And it's ok, my friends meow at people, growl, speak Draconian, Latin, Elvish, etc at people and so on... And I get the whole Crisis/Meltdown thing, one time in 9th grade I got so bored I had a panic attack in the corner by the vending machines in the lunch room. One of many incidents :/

BOXES RULE!! It seems that the package that something comes in is more fascinating than the object inside

Aww I'm sorry hun *air hugs*

You can make forts out of really big boxes ... I remember, one time, I actually slept overnight in a box-turned-fort in my living room!
But yeah, you have a good point about meltdowns ... I was thinking about that recently actually - you're never more clearly aware of how "different" you are while you are having one, and yet, it is during this time that you are the most powerless to stop it ... the glass wall is crystal clear, but 8 feet thick ... You'll find that the older you get, the more tolerant people are of "quirks", as long as you're a good person, and the people in your math class were probably totally aware that the other girl started it (I hate people like that girl ... what was her problem? That sort of thing scares and confuses me.)
It's interesting, when I first met a friend of mine who also has Asperger's, I thought she had an "accent" too (although of what variety, I did not know). I am more of a "monotone" person myself

We made forts using blankets all the time, I never thought about using boxes
Yeah, I think the only ones who saw it were Christian, Eric, and Vincent... Christian say's I'm like the smartest person around, and I help him, he's very smart himself when he's puts his mind into things... Eric is pretty civil with me, he would ask me about the latest health class homework, and I'm really close with Vincent, and he was sitting right next to me when that happened, he was completely shocked and felt sorry for me... You see, it all started when we were assigned to do a child's pop up book... she kinda ended up with us, because none of us were pretty social in group(Me, Kimberley, Paul, Jonathan), except Vincent and Christian, however, no other group wanted Vincent to even come near them(he's not gay, but he's got a few feminine 'quirks'), and other groups were too full for Christian... I was immediately put in charge I guess, I tried everything to get Kimberley involved, but she would just sit there and complain about texting or substitutes or other stuff... Jonathan and I would joke around a lot, I'd pick on Vincent for fun, we worked on the book, but she did absolutely nothing, even after everything I tried... eventually it came down to the last day, we couldnt get the freakin pinwheel on, we were laughing at all of our falled attempts, and then she just freaking BLOWS!, Kimberley just bursts out 'I CANT AFFORD TO FAIL BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU'VE DONE NOTHING! IF I LOSE, IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I NEED THIS GRADE!'... towards me... then she runs off to get tape and starts plastering the book with tape... she handed me the scissors and I guess she expected me to cut something cause then she yelled out again 'WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE? CUT THIS!'... that's when I almost burst into tears... I stood up and started walking in circles very awkwardly and was mummbling random words and excuses and she sat there and continued on her rage towards me... like, if you look at all the information said, she brought it upon herself, I actually did the most when it came to the book, she failed the book anyway, the rest of us didnt, it was the best book in class and brought each of us who worked on it a nice score, except her... after that, I just avoided her, and many months of just watching her, I became disguted with her, not to mention I realized of how much she's of a freakin hypocrite...
yeah, my lovely accent, after being conscious about it for so long, ive realized that, the scottish never seems to go away, but its quite faint, but at times my 'hidden' accent is just really strong... I talk monotone horribly when it comes to reading out loud... oh, and you know Nicole Fox from ANTM, i think it was cycle 14 or something, the petite cycle, anyway, me and my mom were so convinced that she's also aspergers, she has the most monotone voice I had ever heard...
π: 0 β©: 1
I've always been pretty self-conscious about my voice too, because, in addition to a monotone, I have a slight lateral lisp (or what my mom calls "slushy s's" - or "shlushy eshes", if you will
And sorry it's taken so long to respond to everything - I am now working Monday-Friday, 8-5, so usually, by the time I get home, I am too exhausted to do anything!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, there is something seriously up with Kimberley's world... It's disgusting how people like her take advantage of every little chance, or anybody to get what she wants... (the book was just the first time I saw... but, because she also in my gym class, and saw it constantly...)
I am totally not the person to read aloud in class... although, Im surprised at the level of vocabulary of the rest of the class... I cant tell if its because im just more advanced, there just stupid
Your totally fine with the late reply, I probably still have messages from last year on here

Wow, so do all of your siblings have Aspergers? This brings back memories of pictures when I was really little - I would always turn my back whenever someone had a camera ... "I just felt like pressing my forehead to the wall"
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, both my brothers have aspergers... and were thinking maybe my half-brother too... but that would be a little hard to diagnose since hes only 4 months old...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it would seem statistically likely that your half-brother would also have Aspergers ... but 4 months IS a little young, haha....
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah... I feel his pain. 
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, its not like we have Aspergers written across our forehead...
π: 0 β©: 1
True. Plus people say it's an excuse for not being social..
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah... and for being 'disrespectful'... especially with eye contact...
π: 0 β©: 1
Ugh, eye contact still bugs me. I can kinda look at people's eyes but I feel... like, weird.
π: 0 β©: 2
For me it helps to look at their nose or their forehead.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what I do, and when they're not really paying attention I look over their shoulder.
π: 0 β©: 1
For me I only really do that when I'm spacing out
π: 0 β©: 0
yeah, before i couldnt look at ANYBODY, but somehow i forced myself to, and in a matter of a month, you wouldnt be able to tell, i was practically looking everyone in the eye... though i still have moments, especially with looking for a very long time and at people who are 'intimidating'...
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, I like giving out a few "death glares" to people I hate. I love seeing their reactions too.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha! same here, in fact when i do give a meaningful death stare, i scare the crap out of people... one girl actually went crazy saying, 'PLEASE DONT KILL ME', im pretty sure i had the most sinister grin when she said that...
