So my name is Charlie, Im from the UK near London and I am keen to speak with others who are in similar situations as me (because so called "normal" people dont have a clue about what its like day to day with Autism or Aspergers'!!) and because I can hopefully help others who are struggling in their lives or need support as well as getting help and advice from people on this forum, which might I add have struck me as highly intellegent individuals! I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing peoples comments on this site and reading about peoples experiences in life, its frustrating to hear certain people actually target people with AS which I read about today, but together we are stronger, thats how I have found that so called "normal" people operate, they speak always about whats bothering them or even making them happy.
So I thought I would sign up for an account on here and introduce myself because I have found this website extremely beneficial while browsing through it the past few days when I have been feeling frustrated in my own life and I believe that if people who has Autism and Aspergers' can speak to each other, help and relate to one and other on a site forum such as this one then that is an amazing thing. I myself know that a lot of so called "normal" people are inconsiderate of people with AS and I believe the best way to get them back is to form a community of AS people and say "were not alone!" because a lot of the time people with it are alone or dont have many friends and this leads to bullying and being singled out.
I thought I would just mention quickly incase anyone was wondering, I myself have Aspergers' and I have difficulty socialising and keeping up friendships, I will meet someone new and want them as a friend but lack the skills to go about having them as a friend and its really frustrating! I am fortunate enough that I am able to be on the end of the scale that others have mentioned which is the 'normal but a bit weird' end! everywhere I go I feel people look at me funny! I dont wear bright coloured clothing or go weeks without shaving or anything like that I just stand out possibly because I behave different to others without realising. I am mostly a very logical and serious person and I dont smile a lot, yet inside I feel like a fun and caring person, but I suppose because of the way I am I dont come across the way I really am!
Anyway before I bore you I will end what was ment to be just an introduction here!But I am very glad to have found this website and as soon as I can get a job I will be donating to this website because it is gold!!!
Outraged, I think I get the principles of what you are talking about with football but the terminology Im finding hard to understand!!! Avi Moderator, thankyou for welcoming me and yes I had a look through this website the other day and decided to make an account and yes I think everyone on here is nice and thoughtful.
Laddo.. Its a shame that people like us feel we had to do that growing up, although most kids do even if they dont have AS because everyone wants to fit in and be accepted. So when would you say you found yourself like found out who you really were? I think most relationships under 18 dont last if it helps!!! But I think people like us need a girl who has patience and who is thoughtful, not the sort of girls that are just after looks or money!!! Glad its not just me with the interviews!!! But we need to overcome our anxiety/worry with interviews because unfortunately employers take them seriously and although it seems like an acting session if you dont do well it can cost you a job! Im finding it very hard to get a job at the moment its very competetive out there. What type of job are you looking for can I ask? I am trying to get office work.So you have experienced people that still gossip and spread rumors as adults too, very silly people and to be honest must not have anything to talk about or must feel low about themselves and pick on others to draw attention away from themselves!What racing thoughts do you get? worrying ones or just 'what should I do today maybe ill do this or this"!?!? I have racing thoughts too but mainly about life and science!!! I am always trying to work everything out!!!Having Aspergers' and ADHD, do you feel fidgety sometimes or have lots of energy that needs letting out? Most of my friends had ADHD when I was a kid and they always had stuff to say and were extremely energetic! I have heard that people who have ADHD get it more under control as an adult is this true? I am also glad this site exists and as soon as I get a job or if I ever win money (next to impossible!!!) I will be supporting the company all the way!
