Aspergers syndrom is a curse

Aspergers is a curse. These are the unfortunate people who find they are different from the usual person found everywhere. Aspergers people cannot fit in with normal society. For that reason, they are excluded from being with friends and peers from an early age. They are unable to develop socially like their peers, so get left further behind. The inability to fit in and the differentness is made worse by the time they become adults. Many parents are simply embarassed having that child who is 'different', cannot do sports as others, comes across as weird. Besides with their mannerisms, their approaches to things, the way they speak in their monotone voice just annoys everyone else. With other handicaps - a person in a wheelchair can be accepted. A person with mental impairments lives with similar others in their colonies. An aspie cannot be recognized in the same way. Appears as normal till things start becoming apparrent.  He or she is not ill enough to qualify for disability allowances nor PIP. Morever the people who determine these, will never recognize an aspie and their needs purely because they are not in it. We talk about some high value people or stars being aspies, but statistically the typical aspie is most likely to be unemployed, living on their own and few friends. They maybe tried having a partner, but that failed. The partner soon realizes what they are yoked with and dump them.  Coming to job  interviews, their differentness is soon apparrent, they are deemed not to fit in the company, so do not get the job. Psychometric tests also detect aspies because the tests have questions which fish out the traits that aspies have like being loyal, preferring to work on their own, being organized, truth speaking.The tests fish out the things that an aspie cannot do and conclude that the person is not fit for the job based on abilities like being able to work under pressure or multi-task.

  • It's not a Curse, but it does make life far more difficult than it needs to be sometimes. The fact is that people, even now, just do not understand, nine times out of ten, what Aspergers Syndrome is and how it can affect people trying to interact and work with people who do not have to deal with the same things. But there are those who do and will help-such as the organisation this website belongs to.

    There are good people who will enjoy your company, your views and ideas and even the fact you are in many ways different to them and theirs. Look for them, you can find them. Enjoy it when you do-it's worth it.
