I honestly wish I didn't have this syndrome. I am completely embarressed of it. None of my friends know about it because alot of them make fun of people with autism/other conditions behind those peoples backs. I wish I could take affection of any kind without it me freaking out. I cant' stand people saying things like I love you or someone trying to kiss me My family use it against me, especially with my sensory sensitivity. They'll turn up music, try and hug/touch me to annoy me. My mom will stare at me intensly for minutes to annoy me. I get memory problems so if they lose something or something has happened they'll pin it on me automatically. I can't eat or be near most foods/smells because the taste/smell will give me headaches/ make me nausiated. And when I was in school and now in college the teachers/lecturers treat me like I'm almost mentally handicapt. I've also been suffering from severe depression since I was a child. I just want to get rid of this condition so bad. I am good at hiding the condition but I want to escape it. It makes me feel so isolated and alone, especially since I don't know anyone with the condition. I'm sorry for the rant but I can't take it any longer.
Is there anyone else out here that feels the same, or are you happy with aspergers?

Eh, I don't mind it all that much.
I find it makes me better than "normal" people. I think of things they never would, or think of things in ways they never do.
And their ideas are needlessly simple.
I prefer my crazy, complicated, easily foiled plans. mrgreen

It's horrid that they are being that way. Have you told them that their behaviour is bothering you, and perhaps agitating your mindset. If they realize that their teasing is really bothering you, maybe they will lighten up.

maybe you could annoy your family back or go just nuts at them one day to shock them. with your friends maybe just remind them that autistic people are people too. with your teachers maybe you could come out with some really intelligent comments to make them realise that you're not actually "mentally handicapped" but an intelligent human being

It seems that you experiences have really driven you to be depressed. I am not sure how you are at speaking up, but you should definitely tell your family about your depression, and how their actions are bothering you.

this is the reason why i feel like i should drop out of school. it sounds stupid but im just not good with being around people and socializing. this year they are having me speak in front of people and stuff and some of you may think that 'who wouldnt go in front of the classroom and do a presentation or what ever?' but its really rare that i have to do that. plus im in a hairstyling class and i dont know s**t about doing hair but curling. i dont want to spend the rest of the semester curling hair mad . i want to do other stuff but im scared to ask.

One thing I've learned over the years is that aspergers/autism is NOTHING to be ashamed of. I have autism and I've been made fun of for it. You have to know who your true friends are. The friends you've got now are real jackasses and they need to go play in a ******** freeway. People like them REALLY make me angry. But listen, there is no "cure" for autism. I don't know what to tell you about the affection thing. It might just get better over time though. What your family does is messed up though and they really should treat you better. My friend Richelle has the same problem with the food. It can get her nauseated. But listen, everything is gonna get better.
