Dear Melody Redhead, I have a 21year old AS daughter. I fear for her future as well. My mission in life is to prepare her as best as I can for the day when I'm not here. I am honestly the only friend she has. This website may help if I can get her involved.

I agree - I was bullied for over a year at school, and the teachers and headmaster just wanted to bury their heads in the sand over it!

I came out as being gay 13 years ago, although I had known I had gay tendencies all of my life! The school I went to was very homophobic, and there were a lot of gay jokes going around like 'Don't bend over and pick up the soap!', etc. I was diagnosed with having Asperger's Syndrome last year, which came as a complete shock to me, but explained my whole life!

Am also on Facebook:Evan B Gessman and am seeking new friends. I was born c a nuerological disorder called Asbergers Syndrome. My dad beat me to a pulp in public and at home. I have survived polio, 6 cancers, now have post polio. Have job security in the medical, nursing, and healtcare professions, financially stable, totally ou out of debt, go on 2 trips/crusies a month. Am seeking pen pals to support morally. Doctors told my parents that I would never live to see my high school graduation. I not only graduated high school and college c honors, but twice have been listed in Cambridge Who's Who of Medical Professionals and after being beat up and bullied, have accomphlished things that nobody in my family has ever done! I live in the U.S.A. Will confirm all who add me as a friend on Pacebook and welcome all of you who need advice, prayer, wisdom, am single, never married. My life hasn't been an easy one, but c faith, has been given back to me 7 times. If I can be a survivor, so can't you. Most sincerely, Evan B Gessman.

Great site! It's good to know there is support available on the internet for people with this 'interesting personality trait'! I was diagnosed at the age of 22 and it looks as though one of my cousins also has Aspergers also. I was fairly lucky growing up as I was in a very goal-orientated environment and most social situations centred around work or study. It was very regimented and I knew how to behave and what to say by watching and listening to others. Some people told me I was a bit 'weird', but I used it to my advantage as one of the 'arty' kids. I know it must be much more difficult for many teenagers in different situations though.
I never really understood or had an interest in people growing up, but didn't realise that was 'different' until I left school and travelled abroad by myself (which, looking back, was a strange thing for a teenager to do). I've learnt to communicate with others by writing and art and I've also had a fantastic therapist to give me pointers on how to behave and act. I realise now why some people have considered my behaviour abnormal/crazy in the past, but it gets a bit easier with practice and I've learnt how to react if I make a mistake. I'm also in a relationship with a wonderful man who doesn't mind the hours/days/weeks I need to spend by myself sometimes. I've settled into a 'normal' life finally and would like to help others do the same.

Neat sire, but I don't think we have to conform. I'm happy to be an aspie and would never change that. I interact with other aspies and to be honest, I loathe humans. They have their own world, and we have our own, no need for the two to overlap or interact, because the more populated one will always dominate the minority that way, and I don't want to be dominated.

this is a brilliant webiste. i've had aspergers and I knew i had all the way through growing up and i suffer from depression (i'm 22). You wouldve thought things would start getting better especially in the mental health service, and i agree with deb. i'm an aspie mum to a non autistic daughter and all the way through my pregnancy and afterwards social services were cruel and patronising, going to the point of actually questioning whether or not i'm 'fit to be a parent', but when i need the help nobody wants to know and it seems that people that want to be honest about it are being supresssed, no doubt by few people on the 'high end' of society.

Hi,
Just wanted to say that it's great that you guys have this site to get awareness of A.S. out there. It's not an easy task for sure.
My son Michael is 7 with A.S. and has been diagnosed since he was 2 1/2. We've been very lucky so far between his doctor and his IEP team at his school. They all have been wonderful to us and most of all to him. But it is a rough road for sure. Parents really need to be educated so that they can educate and help the teachers to understand their children. My son is in a normal class and has therapy as well throughout his day. His teacher had no idea what to expect or even that Michael was A.S. So as parents we gave her the scoop. She was willing to listen to us to understand him better and understand his therapy classes as well. Outside of his school it's been rough but we have to make the people around us understand to change negative reactions. That's all on us. We all need to educate. Make people aware that aspie kids are just kids on a bumpy road. Like I said you are doing a great thing with your site and I'm proud of you. Thanks from an aspie's mom.

Hello
Just been looking around your great site.
I think my 18 year old son has AS or Dyspraxia or similar, so I have the task of trying to get him diagnosed.
I fear for his future, as I cannot see how he will ever get and hold down a career.
I feel so sad as he does not socialise at all, and hardly talks to family members.
I will endeavour to read as much as possible from your site for help and advice.
Keep up the good work
Melody :))
