Hey, what is Asperger Syndrome exactly?

 

Okay let's start with this video. It shows what someone without as sees when on a busy street then it will show someone who does have it what they see. It's not a perfect representation but close enough. It's best not to turn your volume down if you want the full effect.

Now let's go with something else. Eye contact.

When I try to maintain eye contact I can't do it because it's like my brain takes a thousand pictures and it physically hurts to do it.

Now for something else. Touch.

I find it very uncomfortable to touch anyone so I tend to shy away from physical contact.

Now let's go with entering a room.

1. Before I can enter a room I must get used to some things:

Light. The Lights in the room are so bright to me that I have to get used to them before I can move.
Sound. The sounds in the room are all jumbled up and loud so I have to get used to that.
Smell. Sometimes smells can be so intense that they overload my senses.

These are the things I have to get used to before entering a room.

 

I have Aspergers, which i might add complements my zodiac sign which is a Gemini. I've always had had problems reading people's social cues and I like to stick to a specific routine and if my day deviates from that in any way I get lost and don't know what to do. I also have a tendency to split my attention and think about 10 different things in the span of a few seconds and I can track different ways to solve problems and still get the same answer.

It's nice to find a group that shares my learning and social handicap.
