Yes clown suit is too much for anyone!
I'm sticking to the Austin Powers suit and grin with telescope.
You'll know me when you see me.
I'll be in the corner. Just being quiet.
You need to go find a mini me... That takes the attention off you!

That's perfect. I always used to use tattoo out of fantasy island.
(Is this too surreal now? )

Anyone believe in the brains ability to change and rearrange to the point of fitting in or becoming neurotypical or do we need to have neurotypicals come to our way of thinking?
I am torn with the woman I am with now. She sure wants to change alot about me. The things she wants to change thou we are in agreement with. I know that they are reasonable so I will do them. Even though It will be hard for me, but I will conform, for us. But I will be on the look out for anything unreasonable that she wants of me. This is my third major relationship and this one I want to do right.In the beginning I was mesmerized with my girl friend (now wife). She loved this shy guy and was fine with me being different. I was so amazed someone wanted to love me... She was (is) beautiful, sexy, and more than I ever deserved. Later after we got married I found out that I was her "project". I was her guy she picked to mold me into the husband she wanted. I am very loyal, maybe because I wanted to be loved when I was younger, but was just beat instead.
Overtime when she found out I "wouldn't" or couldn't change she started hating me. I'm dealing with some real hard thoughts that I promised myself I would never do, and that is leave and or get a divorce. She is just using me at this point and even tells me she hates me... I'm the same guy that fell asleep on her on our first date. I have changed and faked as much as I could, but she just cant stand dealing with me not being normal. She states that probably in every conversation we have. I told her she is free to leave, but she won't do that. I supply everything she enjoys and she knows that ends if she walks out. Its a tough situation... I'm just finally waking up to the fact she is abusing me nearly as bad as the people who threw me away when I was just a kid.
I'm not perfect... I mess up so often I turn my own stomach, but I apologize every time and try with all I have to always be a better person. I never get that treatment in return and it's killing me.
I wish you all the best with her... I'm never saying my relationship is normal. It is like two different universes where 2 people have such different functioning systems... I cant make me be enough for her, it hurts.
Love her, but look for what she might be trying to change... I don't think they can help that, just like we cant change how we are. If you can make it work... Go for it with all you got, just hold on to who you are.
You may wake up someday not even knowing who you really are anymore.
Sorry, Autism is a neurological condition not a disease. There is no such thing as treatment for a neurological condition - only the potential of augmentation through coping mechanisms or in rare cases the consumption of medications or supplements that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to help with neurological messaging.
While neurological messaging can be improved it can not be altered, all that means is that a stronger signal can be created but the destination of the signal remains the same.
We learn to recognize and act out behavior based upon the messaging and signals that our brains process.
Each individual is unique, especially those on the spectrum. We use a common phrase of "different, not broken" and that is usually in reference to who we are, additionally we process information and emotions differently.I understand that Aspergers is like the difference between left handed people and right handed people and that it is simply a difference in processing information? Is this correct? Are our perceptions different? Or the route on which we make connections different, or the same just different route that our signal connects?
What I am trying to figure out, is if the route in which the signal is processed goes differently through the brain. Would this mean a particular part of the brain in a person with Aspergers maybe more active then in that of a neurotypical person? Sorry for the questions you come across as a person that may hold the answers to my questions.
I'm fascinated with this subject.
Anyone believe in the brains ability to change and rearrange to the point of fitting in or becoming neurotypical or do we need to have neurotypicals come to our way of thinking?
So long story short we will have to learn to manipulate our brains thoughts, feelings,personality and our behavior etc?
