Hello everyone,
I'm Marci, and I'm not in the spectrum. Rather, I'm here for my friend who is. She's got aspergers and she found that out within the last three years. We're both 29, it's a long time of misdiagnosis since she was born. I'll be honest here, and I'm not here to brag, I'm here to ask for help. We've been friends since we were in Junior High, I've always appreciated her sense of humour and our common interests. We had our ups and downs, and there was a time that we had a long long break from each other, approximately three years when we didn't talk to each other at all.
I'm here now because I've been winging it with my friend for that long, and the problems with our individual personalities and added the aspergers, make it really hard for me to understand her. So in a way, I came here to seek what perspective I'm missing so I could understand her better. There's no way that I'd let a 16 year old friendship go to waste because of my ignorance and lack of capability to understand. So when I ask about a problem about my AS friend, please don't take it as an attack, merely take it as me asking for help, because I need to understand my bestfriend better. Not only from my own musings, but from people from around the world who would understand it better than I would. Thankyou everyone in advance, and if I'm being an idiot, please forgive me since I am still learning, and has been for the last 16 years. Thank you.
Marci.
