Hello everyone

[Anon88]

I'm a 26 year old woman and have always felt like an outcast. Though as an adult I've become somewhat numb to it. I'm a self diagnosed Aspie and thinking about finally going to a Doc to get a real diagnosis to confirm what I already know. This is just the first time in my life that I actually have terms to go along with my problem. Not that any of it matters since every time I think I've found a moment of happiness in my life or someone to share it with I manage to destroy their opinion of me and end up alone again. I think I'll go back to pretending for a while. At least when I was growing up, trying to mimic normal people kept me safe from too much disappointment even if I could never be myself around anyone.

Thanks. It's nice to have a place where I can be myself. Pretending to be "normal" is so exhausting at times.

Hello!

I promise you you're not alone---not here, and not in the world at large. As you learn more about yourself, you'll figure out how to address these losses of social opportunities you've had. And there are people out there who will understand you, so don't give up.

Hello and Welcome!!

Wow you sound a lot like me! When i go out in public (school, mainly), I always have to act like someone I don't know! I even changed my name; I hate my nickname, but I was hoping for a fresh start to middle school.

Welcome

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling pretty down. I'm glad to see you're feeling comfortable enough to be yourself here though. It's always a relief to be able to relate to like minded-people; it's not always an option for us.

I'm assuming you know much about your AS already, but if you want some guidance (or just to be able to relate to what many other female Aspies seem to go through), I recommend his book. When I was reading it, I was amazed at how much it described my life (even the random stuff that I thought would only ever happen to me): Aspergirls: Empowering Females With Asperger Syndrome | AspiesCentral.com
