Hi, I am Matthew. I have just turned 29years old. I was recently forced to resign from my work for behaviour I believed was normal but in reality was quite weird and insulting. My father was diagnosed Asperger?s and I personally have always been viewed as ?not quite right?, a ?dreamer?, and a ?space cadet?. Since leaving my job I have been searching for reasons for why things went the way they did. I allowed myself to seriously entertain that I may well be an Aspie? with the help of my nice psychologist: I understand now that I am! I'm not a monster (which is what I originally believed I was).
In the past, I have been a typical example of the Loner Aspie. This year I tried to extrovert myself: big mistake! However, I have grown from the horrible experience and now better fit the Outcast Aspie type. Next I will refine my interpersonal skills and become a shining example of the Actor Aspie type. If I cannot be normal, come hell or high water I will learn to fake it!
It has been about seven years since I have made a friend (even online? I just don?t get this whole social networking thing). I thought I had made friends during that time, but it turns out they were just humouring me for their own personal gain... ah well.
