i've never felt like i fit in to the world, the reality that other people seemed to live in, since as far back as i can remember, they said i was dyslexic but now i see that perhaps true but not totally, i was held back a grade once in school cause i was just to slow in learning and fallowing the skill level with the rest of the kids, it never got better, i just take some time to do alot of things i must do them over and over again to get them right and i do alot better if things are written down and i still have trouble fallowing what people say to me and what it is that they want me to think and do, i have a hard time talking and understanding people and what it is they are saying cause, will when there is more then one person i have a hard understanding where and why everyone is talking about whatever it might be, i mostly just keep quit and interject when i know i can, i've learned to interact better with people but what i dislike the most is through the years i've found a way to fit in a little and lost who i was when i started out in life more then i ever might be able to recover from. it's the constant comants from people about how dumb or stupid i am that just drive sad, taking every thing for face value is a draw back sometimes, i don't have any freinds really and if i did well i'm sure i'd have trouble cause i always do with people and there needs from me and being on time and thinking of the other person that needed way is all to much, i just enjoy intamate relationships one on one stuff is better like soul mates, life long stuff cause that seems the way my head can hold on to it best, i doun't stem and if i do it's just rubbing my hands togeither alot, i'm older and so i've found ways to work around alot of what i was thought to be doing things wrong but it doesn't change the past that comes on when ever i do to much wrong in this nt world and not right, there you go for now, and intruding no, think we're all here in this forum to help eachother out?

im not autistic. sometimes i think i am, but im just over analyzing things. i work with 8 autistic children 7 of which are non-verbal. so its just interesting to me to hear some insight as to what they maybe thinking, or why they do things that they do (ie spinning ojects, interest in mirrors ect.) i only work with children up until the age of 6 before they move on to a different section of the organization i work for www.clmiss.on.ca so i dont usually see what they become as they grow up.

thanks!

sorry holidays and such, hmmm it does help kids i think that have any kind of goings on to have help through it as much as can be given it's just sad that that is not the case for all, it's good to see as well that people get into doing things that help kids so much and can love doing it, it is hard to tell kids that have autism and have had alot of help with it to fit in and what not, it's hard to tell for ones that don't get any help at all cause they hide it so well, sometimes i think am and then i realize that i am and that just how it's always been i've just learn to mask it and work around it so well it's hard for me to look within and see that the true me is not the me i've made to fit into societies needs of me.......

well if you really want to find out, you need to talk to your doctor about referring you to a phsycologist
