Hi ... for Christmas I got Aspergers Syndrome. Does any one else suffer from this ?
•
What i meant by that is recently diagnosed as of the 23rd wich is why i havent been posting as much as i normally do.
•
Oh right. So how has the diagnosis affected you then, may I ask?
•
It hasnt affected me as much now. But when i was a kid i wish i would have known so those chapters in my life would make a bit more sense. I think it helps explain a few things. Now i dont know what to do with myself like what to do next.
•
Yeah, I see how you mean about the past actually - kinda feel the same there; but there's no need to let it affect your future. Whatever you wanted to do before can still be done now
•
Yes I need to really focus on the future. How am i going to explain this to my boyfriend ? Do you have AS ?

Hi Curt,
Sounds like good news and bad news. I have read that people usually improve in many ways once Aspergers is diagnosed, so that's not so bad. But we would all prefer to be a model of perfect health obviously. A better understanding of the past will also help you to work towards a better future. I suppose it feels a bit like coming out again, having to explain things to significant others. You could tell your boyfriend in a letter, so that he can gather his thoughts together and respond in a more informed way when he sees you. I'm sure he will be supportive and will love you as much as ever.
I got a bad cold for Christmas and passed it on to my boyfriend of course.
Lots of big virtual hugs (at least you can't catch any bugs that way)

Ok first of all I am defenently not seeing this as a good thing in anyway. Its just another oe of those things that make me even more effed. No pun inteneded. I dont want to be different anymore i never did. I just wanna like every other person out there. I hate the way people look at me when im out in public and i try very hard to blend in. Its not easy too look good and fit in with the small town crowd. Straight guys intimidate me so i never initiate contact Now that i think of it i never really initiate contact in person all the guys i ever met are from online. I dont think theres any reason to tell my boyfriend. I wish i would have known this as a child so i could start working around it. Thanks for all the support though. Marsh where can you find a copy of that film.
