Hi all.

ExplosiveTMT

Humour's my middle name.
Now for a story about me. :)

I think I got diagnosed with aspergers at age 4.
In primary school, when I got upset, I basically turned into The Hulk. Anything that was around the class was sent flying through the air. I've never hurt anyone though. In the aftermath of those outbursts of mine, I was often marched to the school office, my dad was phoned and then I got sent home.
Kids nicknamed me The Incredible Hulk. And making friendships was tough.
Those were the dark times. :(
But, I'm happy to report that those days came to end. ;)
My mum found me the support I needed to make my outbursts less destructive.
Another great thing happened to me when I went to a special needs class in high school. The people there were fantastic and making friendships with some of those guys/gals sure was a piece of cake, I guess since they have aspergers. :) I never knew what friends were and thanks to the people in that class, I was able to find out. :)

I often pace around or bounce up/down when I daydream. Another thing is, my writing skill is 100,000 times better than my speech skill. If you were to meet me, I would be silent as a rock. There are a few people I talk a lot to, like my mum and friends. Everyone else is usually talked to through writing. :)

So there's my little story. :grinning:
 
Hello and welcome to the community :D I think a lot of us has had a similar childhood where we were often the weird kid and got picked on because of it ...
 
Hey. I like your avatar ( did I use that word right? They're all avatars or just certain ones?)

Did you make it yourself?
(Is it your own artwork?)
 
Hi E-TMT! Welcome to the forum. Many of us here love to write so you are amongst kindred spirits. I'm glad that you were able to access the special needs classes that you needed. Here, budget cuts & changes in so-called educational philosophy has led to many such classes being phased out, much to the detriment of the students who needed them. Hopefully, such classes will be reestablished in the near future.
 
Welcome :)

I'm glad you were able to finally find peace. You'll find that quite a few of us have a similar trait, in that our written skills are more impressive than our oral skills (I know I'm guilty of this).
