Asperger's Syndrome

Posted on: May 3, 2004
And now a word about Asperger's Syndrome. I know, it sounds like such a horrible thing by the name alone doesn't it? But really, apart from the constant oddities and inconveniences along the way, I've been able to be pretty thankful for a good life overall. I am self-diagnosed at this point but I have not been able to find another "neat" medical or scientific explanation for why I am the way I am — at least, a large part of me.

Life makes more sense now. It's like… AHA… and no it's not an excuse for me to be rude to others (even when I don't know I am being rude). In fact, I am trying to learn more and be a better human being. Doesn't that sound wholesome?

This is a very informative link!

You can expect me to write more about it and my unusual experiences in this world, as I can only speak for myself. But let's just say as much as I've always wanted to fit in, something about me has always made me jut out and I have decided over the last few years to embrace this instead of repressing it. I have done many socially unacceptable things which seemed embarassing at the time, but now maybe I can have more of a laugh about it. It doesn't make much sense if you weren't there at the time, but my good?friends know what's up with me and I thank them for their understanding despite my craaazy obsessions and my compulsions and routines :). But really, I am a friendly guy (except when it comes to badly cut watermelons in '02 and people making fun of Ally McBeal in '97 etc.), and, to cop an alien saying, "I come in peace". That can be interpreted in more than one way!
