Well , some of you know and some of you dont know. I think its been over 3 years since I actually started going to high school and I had to move house. Ever since then I've been bullied , attacked , assaulted and beaten by the locals for no apparent reason since they assume I'm "different" yet they havent told me exactly what makes me different yet. I even had this trouble in school so it was only a matter of time before it got so bad that I was too shaken to even leave the house. So..after about a year and nine whole months of going through the system I'm actually going to have some kind of education again! Of course , some of you may think I'm weird for me to be happy about getting education but after about over a year and a half of just sitting around the house doing hardly anything except using the computer then you'd probably understand. Basically whats planned for me is some sort of program on the computer thats going to help me gain some GCSE's or grades , whatever you want to call it and hopefully gain my confidence back about going to school again in the next year. Hopefully things go well and I'll have a chance at getting a decent job after all. Why am I saying this all now? Probably because of the fact I just felt like telling someone and it just helps me forget about the past and look to the future. I dunno.. |

Well, he has Asperger's Syndrome, which I also have. Unfortunately having AS seems to make you a bully and jerk magnet for some reason, I guess its because we act differently than everyone else and whatnot. I was also bullied and insulted all my school life as well >_<. It seems like people in society love to rather insult or fear what they don't understand rather than actually trying to understand it. Anyway, I hope you luck and I hope you enjoy it ^-^. |

TIS and Kilo have this disorder, and this is what it does to thme socialy And im gunna say im proud of u two for coping with it, my friend has this, and his life is tough, so congradulations! ^_^ :TailsYay2: Asperger syndrome — also referred to as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger's, or just AS — is one of five neurobiological pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) that is characterized by deficiencies in social and communication skills. It is considered to be part of the autistic spectrum and is differentiated from other PDDs and from high functioning autism (HFA) in that early development is normal and there is no language delay. It is possible for people with AS to have learning disabilities concurrently with Asperger syndrome. In these cases, differential diagnosis is essential to identify subsequent support requirements. Conversely, IQ tests may show normal or superior intelligence,[1][2] and standard language development compared with the delays typical of classic autism. The diagnosis of AS is complicated by the lack of adoption of a standardized diagnostic screen, and, instead, the use of several different screening instruments and sets of diagnostic criteria. The exact cause of AS is unknown and the prevalence is not firmly established, due partly to the use of differing sets of diagnostic criteria. Asperger syndrome was named in honor of Hans Asperger (1906-1980), an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician, by researcher Lorna Wing, who first used the eponym in a 1981 paper.[3] In 1994, AS was recognized in the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as Asperger's Disorder.[4] AS is often not identified in early childhood, and many individuals do not receive diagnosis until after puberty or when they are adults. Assistance for core symptoms of AS consists of therapies that apply behavior management strategies and address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness. Many individuals with AS can adopt strategies for coping and do lead fulfilling lives - being gainfully employed, getting married or having successful relationships, and having families. In most cases, they are aware of their differences and recognize when they need support to maintain an independent life.[5] AS may lead to problems in social interaction with peers. These problems can be severe or mild depending on the individual. Children with AS are often the target of bullying at school due to their idiosyncratic behavior, language, interests, and impaired ability to perceive and respond in socially expected ways to nonverbal cues, particularly in interpersonal conflict. Children with AS may be extremely literal and may have difficulty interpreting and responding to sarcasm or banter. The above problems can even arise in the family; given an unfavorable family environment, the child may be subject to emotional abuse. A child or teen with AS is often puzzled by this mistreatment, unaware of what has been done incorrectly. Unlike other pervasive development disorders, most children with AS want to be social, but fail to socialize successfully, which can lead to later withdrawal and asocial behavior, especially in adolescence.[87] At this stage of life especially, they risk being drawn into unsuitable and inappropriate friendships and social groups. People with AS often get along a lot better with those considerably older or younger than them, rather than those their own age. Children with AS often display advanced abilities for their age in language, reading, mathematics, spatial skills, and/or music—sometimes into the "gifted" range—but this may be counterbalanced by considerable delays in other developmental areas. This may be especially evident when the children hit middle school where the educational philosophy switches from rote tasks and memorization (i.e.sight words, Math Facts) to higher ordered thinking that is often difficult with children with AS. This combination of traits can lead to problems with teachers and other authority figures. A child with AS might be regarded by teachers as a "problem child" or a "poor performer." The child’s extremely low tolerance for what they perceive to be ordinary and mediocre tasks, such as typical homework assignments, can easily become frustrating; a teacher may well consider the child arrogant, spiteful, and insubordinate. Lack of support and understanding, in combination with the child's anxieties, can result in problematic behavior (such as severe tantrums, violent and angry outbursts, and withdrawal).[88] Although adults with AS may have similar problems, they are not as likely to be given treatment as a child would. They may find it difficult finding employment or entering undergraduate or graduate schools because of poor interview skills or a low score on standardized or personality tests. They also may be more vulnerable to poverty and homelessness than the general population, because of their difficulty finding (and keeping) employment, lack of proper education, premature social skills, and other factors.[66] [89] If they do become employed, they may be misunderstood, taken advantage of, paid less than those without AS, and be subject to bullying and discrimination. Communication deficits may mean people at work have difficulty understanding the person with AS, and problems with authority figures continue as difficult, tense relations with bosses and supervisors become prevalent. People with AS report a feeling of being unwillingly detached from the world around them. They may have difficulty finding a life partner or getting married due to poor social skills and poverty. In a similar fashion to school bullying, the person with AS is vulnerable to problems in their neighbourhood, such as anti-social behaviour and harassment. Due to social isolation, they can be seen as the 'black sheep' in the community and thus may be at risk of wrongful suspicions and allegations from others. [66] Individuals with AS will need support if they desire to make connections on a personal level. In order for them to see the purpose or relevance of a relationship beyond a point of interest or concept it may represent to them, it will require facilitation from a skilled professional. These connections are crucial throughout an individual with AS' life. When these connections become incredibly complex, however, is in adulthood and unfortunately this is when the least amount of services are provided for this population. Direct teaching around how to identify and establish social boundaries as well as recognizing a person and relationship that he or she can trust is necessary for social success. The complexity and inconsistency of the social world can pose an extreme challenge for individuals with AS. On the other hand, some adults with AS do get married,[90] get graduate degrees, become wealthy, and hold jobs.[10] The intense focus and tendency to work things out logically often grants those people with AS a high level of ability in their field of interest. When these special interests coincide with a materially or socially useful task, the person with AS often can lead a profitable life. The child obsessed with naval architecture may grow up to be an accomplished shipwright.[91] More research is needed on adults with AS.[92] |

Awww, congrats! *Hugs* ^^ I am sorry you have the Aspargers Syndrome, it must really be a pain.. =( I am glad you are able to cope with it though and you'll be goin' back to school! ^^ Haha, when I was little, people picked at me and were mean to me too, because I really was different among all those people. Alllll because of my Hypothyroidism (disease in which the brain does not produce enough hormone to the thyroid). It';s a funny story now and I like telling it cuz I am all better now and dealing with my disease just fine. ^^ But yeah, it starts in 1st grade, my neck looked REALLLLY swollen like there was a lump in it or something and it looked real fat, and all the other kids' necks looked just fine, and I was starting to get overweight but I don't think people cared that much since it was just 1st grade. In 2nd grade it seemed I got more of a temper problem and stuff, my neck still looked swollen and stuff and I might have even had a mental problem, because when Hypothyroidism is not treated then you can get brain damage. I think they found out I had it when I was in second grade I think, cuz in third grade I think it started getting a little better, but I was still overweight. Not to mention, from Kindergarten all the way til 4th grade, I took speech classes, it wasn't special ed. but it was a li'l program for kids with speech problems and stuff to take, so I was in that and stuff. Over summer vacation after 3rd grade, I had been already disagnosed with the hypothyroidism and I took a diet. Since I got the medication, I was abl to lose a lot of weight between the end of 3rd grade and the beginning of 4th grade, and I was pretty proud of myself, but I still had those speech problems, like forming sentences and suh and I wasn't very good at hearing either. As for my hearing, I had like a short circuit, there was a problem with my hearing processing thing, I forget what it's called but I had a problem with that, so if I wasn't facing anyone if they were talking to me, or especially if they were talking to me from the other room, then the full message wouldn't go throug and I would probably hear like only most of it, some of it or maybe none at all. My mom took me to this retarded.. Kids Can Do place, where they made you do games with speech and hearing and stuff. My mom also made me see a psychologist, and I didn't even have that many problems I really needed to talk about. I thought Kids Can Do was really fun with the games and all, but when I learned more about my problems, I got real pissed with mom and told her I did not want to go to these places anymore. The psychologist was really stressing me when I went though cuz I do not like talking to people about my problems face to face..plus I ddn't really have any problems so I had to make up a problem and it was so stupid, and I ended up crying because I still didn't wanna talk about it. I felt as if I did not belong there and I wanted to be on my own, I didn't want to be helped and treated like I was in special ed., because I darn well wasn't. >.> In 5th grade, things were better as far as my body shape went and stuff and I was SUCH..A...RETARD!! I think that mental problem was still hanging about or something! I was such a n00b and did things that were humiliating but I didn't even know it cuz I didn't think anyone else would really care, I was too open and too care-free..then I get people IMing me on AIM, telling me how ugly and retarded I am, so I ended up crying one night when this [beep] put up her away message that said she was thinking of ways to make fun of me with her friend..that hurt me so much and stuff..but over that summer break I learned from my mistakes and became a way better person in 6th grade, I was normal and my body functioning just fine. I was quiet and really shy though.. And now, here I am, in 7th grade at 13 years of age, and I am just fine with this dsease I have. I can speak and hear just fine. Although it is really hard for me to lose weight and is easy to gain it back up, I've decided that I am givingup on junk food all the time. I am serious now, I think I a doing good so far. I got back on my temp. medication and that is raising my metabolism while making me lose my appetitie so it's really beneficial for me. My neck is not swollen anymore but it sorta has some fat on it, but it is barely noticable and my close friends and family that I've asked don't even notice it, but the extra skin, or fat, whatever you wanna call it, will go away when I lose more weight from my tummy and stuff. xD Anyways, that's my story. xD I am glad you are dealing with yours though and I am happy you are getting an education again. I would hate it if I had to sit a year and a half in my house... D: |

It's good that you're continuing your education on the computer. I think it's a great alternative to being around other people in a classroom environment. Hmmm... Aspergers.... that's a word that has popped up a lot in the past few monthes for me. I have shown many many signs of it and my parents tell me that I more than likely have it because my Mom works with a lot of Autistics in school. I was picked on bitterly to the point of depression in middle school and somewhat into high school. A big thing with Aspergers is the preference of sticking with online communities whether than local and yes of course that's me. Hmmm.... if you guys wish to discuss this with me you can. |

Well , according to what my physiciatrist said nearly everyone has a little part of Aspergus inside of them its just that it shows more in others. So yeah , I guess thats kinda why I'd have been bullied a lot. My mum actually suggest I learn a form of self defense at a public lesson somewhere but I really just didnt want to go for the fact its another place I could have been "judged" at. Oh and dont think I never fought back , I think it was like when I was 11 there was one kid who would just constantly laugh at me from a distance with a group of others and they'd run off whenever I actually moved in their direction. It was kinda stupid I know , but thats how people were like around here at that age back then. Of course one day I had enough and actually chased him down and beat the snot out of him , none of the others didnt do anything. They just stood by and watched me take my frustration out on him. He never bullied me again either which kinda made me feel happy until we moved where it just got ten times worse. So you can probably guess that I prefer the online community than social ones. People seem to be more accepting on these matters and tons of others. Of course I not going to start writing an essay on "How the world could be better" but I think you get my point. I think the persons coming either next week or the week after to install this disk on my computer for the "E-Learning" course so I'll have to see how that goes. But from what I've been told its gonna be fun , although they also said that about school hehe ^^;. |

Well, I perfer online communities and socialization because I have problems with processing verbal communication and I have mild social phobia as well ^^;. But I still would kind of prefer a in-school based class rather than a online class (of course, just for college) because I tend to forget about the homework and maybe even the class itself on online classes. |

That's cool for you TiaL! I don't really have any problems, but I am overweight. I'm losing a lot though. =) In Nursery school (I went there when I was 2 and 3 before preschool XP) through the beginning of 5th grade everything was fine. But in the rest of 5th grade and earlier this year I was teased so bad ;_; I was also teased in Kindergarden because I was stupid, acted weird, didn't take care of my health very good, and gained a lot of weight >_> in preschool I was in a Kids can do program as well (Although it was more of a church thing) But now I'm doing better, and have almost lost 50 pounds ^^! Yay! |
