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 can't talk to people

I don't have the ability to engage in simple, everyday conversation.
And the inability to talk gets worse, more difficult, with each day I don't speak. Like falling into the familiar dense, dark hole I was spat out of the earth from.
I ain't right.
The girl ain't right because she can't talk like most.
I don't understand why people talk so much. I don't know or care about the things they talk about. Seems like  nonsense but nonsense they want to say, like common threads that bind them together and leave me, as always, left out.
It hurts worse those times I want in, to their clique, their mass of normality.
Whoever heard of someone, a grown up, who can't even make words and out loud them?
I'm alone. In deafening silence. And I can't talk. Again.
