Hey, mother of a friend of mine? Could you stop being so passive aggressive and rude towards me? Because it really sucks to find out from your daughter that you dislike me because I'm loud.

Guess what? I can't tell how loud I'm speaking most of the time, and you know it. So instead of quietly despising me, never letting me come over, and taking any ( Read more... )

What are YOUR quirks?

Hi guys,
it's me again.

I am just curious as to what your quirks which come with aspergers are?
Do you have any strange habits? Are you sensitive to sounds, light or touch?

I know this is a very broad question, but I hope you'll take your time to leave a note.

In 2007 I was literally diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. It answered a lot of questions I had, about a lot of things. Anyone in a similar boat??

I also have Social Anxiety Disorder. Kind of came with the package so-to-speak.

Also why doesn't the government recognize it as a disability? Is it really that new a diagnosis? I'm not trying to get SSI ( Read more... )
