Prepare to enter the wild and wooly world of an adult with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism characterized by intellignce, quirks, social difficulties and downright strange and oddish behaviours.

People with Aspergers generally are high functioning in everyday life but have great difficulty connecting with others due to the inability to read faces, body language and subtle verbal clues. They also tend to take words literally and have a hard time multi-tasking.

Oversensitivity to touch (clothing has to be soft and often the tags removed), light (do not leave home without the sunglasses), sound (loud noises and noisey places are avoided), taste (many Aspies have quite a limited diet and are frequently very picky eaters) and smells makes the everyday existence more of a challenge.

Fasten your seatbelts and come on in...

More afraid of living than of dying

I believe that I have always been much more afraid of living than if dying.
Living has been an excruciatingly painful experience. I've been afraid of being hungry, being cold, being beaten, molested, and hurt.
I picture death as being painfree, worryfree, finally.
I have no fear of death...its the living that scares me.
I don't know that I will ever be loved. I mean, I have few family and some dear friends, but I don't know that a love relationship will ever be mine.
I'm safe now. I have food, shelter and I'm free from anyone actively trying to hurt me. I should feel good, no?
