I was deemed weird by everyone when I was young, and I almost believed them until I realised that different, was an entirely different meaning as an Aspie. I was not normal, but different, and infinitely more powerful this way.
(cue showoff)
Ever since my diagnosis, which occurred when I was 13 (yes very late), I have opted not to subject myself by excusing myself behind a facade of 'Oh I have this and that, I'm doomed', instead I took the analytical skills and silence as an Aspie to its maximum potential and threw myself into an intense self enforced discipline of being heads and shoulders above my peers.
When I was thirteen I founded a multi national student union for people like myself. When I was fourteen I was training people my age how to write and became a full time teacher when I was fifteen. I raced into entrepreneurship a year later and have since won multiple awards both locally and internationally through various projects and became the youngest ambassador for prominent organisations like TEDxKL, TEDxYouth@KL as well as the acclaimed Global Startup Youth.
Now I'm seventeen, and am one of the only four ever qualifiers into the Thiel Under 20 Community from Malaysia and through years of practise have helped find myself capable of finding my own space is this small world so now I share the stories of the people I meet through a project called Faces of KL
I believe we as Aspies, are different, but that makes us even stronger and ones of greater capacity for success.
