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...

I sound stupid, but only when I talk

 On the inside I am this uber smart, intellectual Aspie who occupies a small, quiet corner of the world minding my own business and leaving others to tend to theirs. But...

When I open my mouth to say how I feel or what I think or what is on my mind, I sound uber stupid, like a flake from the lake that leaves in the deep woods and keeps feral rabbits as pets.

I Can Hear My Own Stupid!!! And its maniacal and immense. I can hear how my ideas and my thoughts deviate from the majority NeuroTypicals. I can hear that my words are spewed in rapid fire, staccato like packets of whistling rockets spiraling in all directions.

No one can understand me.

I like being smart. I keep my mouth shut so I can retain that imaginary feeling.
