Hello, I'm Imahigo and I hail from Tennessee. I was diagnosed with AS a month ago. I have struggled with it throughout my life. I was never able to make many friends, I was always picked on and harassed. My mouth even got me into a whole lot of trouble. I never understood what I said was wrong until my parents explained to me why it was wrong. The only people I was friends with were the mentally handicapped, because we could totally relate to each other and they were the only people nice to me. I did well in school, only because I did what the teacher told me to do. However, sometimes I would get terrible grades just because I misunderstood the directions on a homework assignment. In high school I eventually got fed up with being lonely and asked if anybody would be my friend and people would make fun of me. And I didn't understand why. Everyone always wanted me to give out a speech, and usually people would laugh at me, and I would never understand why. I was the laughing stock, even though I could never figure out why.
I finally get to college and make some more new friends, but then those friends end up betraying me, once more making fun of me for things I don't understand why. I had only one true friend who stood up for me. I told him about how lonely I was and he said he felt the same way. However, I soon reached a breaking point. A month ago, these people were making fun of me because I wouldn't cuss, drink, or have sex. I finally screamed and left and hung out in my room, crying. I felt like dying. I just couldn't take it anymore. I told my friend goodbye and he told me to go see a psychiatrist. And I did. That's when I found out that I had Asperger's Syndrome. He explained about my problem and soon everything started to make sense.
So I joined this website, hoping to understand myself better and learn how to fare better in social situations. Also hope to make some new friends. I had several questions and I've noticed you had several answers to my questions. And me, I really love cars. Anything and everything to do with cars. So if you are a huge car connoisseur like me, I'm the one to talk to. So anyway, Hello.
