Hi,

I was diagnosed with ASD in my teenager years. Here's the thing, I did not really display ASD until I was around 14 (but this was due to isolating myself among other things...

The thing is, its messed up with this ASD.


there are moments, where for some period of time I seem to come back to my normal self, (my voice,actions,thoughts,etc...) and people see that......... so its possible... but ....


here is the question.... should I throw in the towel with my life or what?. because I won't live my life like this. and its about others in this situation. my asd is ****ed. i'm ****ed. its so messed up, yet its not .

Hi Bill and Welcome :). I would encourage you not to throw in the towel with your life. All life is important, precious and of value and you are important, precious and of value.

(More members will be along to welcome you and offer advice. People here are very friendly and helpful)
 
A warm, heartfelt welcome to you, Bill. Please feel you are among friends here. You, and your life, are important, and precious. You are valued here for being who you are. You are surrounded by members who care and understand. Many here share their courage and strength. ASD brings us challenges, but it also brings us some whopper fantastic gifts as well. Please stay. There is hope, optimism, and joy in living with ASD. It's hard to see this when we're in crisis, but with patience, possibilities for a brighter future present themselves.

Please know that you have found a place where you are valued :sunflower: and your uniqueness is appreciated.
 
If other people have a problem with your brain working slightly differently from theirs, that's by definition their problem. If ASD poses a problem to you, that's because of how most (but not all) of society is. There are possible worlds where ASD is easy to live with, and this one is on its way to being an actual one.
 
Welcome yay_I_AM_ASD123
It's all about positive thinking and finding the group of people that suits you, rather than trying to fit in with the 'norm'.. and this is a good place to start, my friend.
Some time ago I decided to put the towel-throwing option on hold myself, being a somewhat final option and all.. and haven't wanted to changed my mind yet :)
 
hey,

you guys are awesome. really from the heart, nice...



but, here's my problem:
because of isolation and social withdrawal I became pale,speak/look/act/etc different... and the other day, a guy was messing around with me in a way, he then asked me 'do you have a disability
'.

I FULLY SEE IT, the other peoples stare into others as they know I am socially disabled, leading me to a disabled thought person,etc....

the other day in the super market line, the checkout lady, looked at the person in front of me and then me, her thoughts and his thoughts were relating to me, almost ashamed to be around me... and like, that's good. keep it up. its like the guy who was honest about me asking is there something wrong with me?, dam straight there is. I'm ****ed up. happy days.

so it comes down to this,
for me, it is time to die, it is good for other people.


again, this is happy and good.




and IT is amazing is, it truly is. I am PROUD AUTSISM WOO HOO!!
