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...

it's the shame and embarrassment that hurts so deep and forces you to withdraw because you just can't explain one more time how much the bright lights hurt you or the loud noises or erratic behaviors.

I am an orderly regiment
Living in a world of chaos called The Norm
I am the outcast, the hidden one.
The constant embarrassment and shame of being different, of being confused and unclear of what is being said and taking place around me, forces me to isolate in the safety, security, and normality of my own home.
Only there am I okay, understood and not a huge freak that needs constant consistent accommodations.
