I am pleased to meet y'all I am an 18 year old teenage boy diagnosed with aspergers from a young age. Some of my special interests include working with computers and software which I have worked with for years.
Throughout the elementary school years I was in a regular school but in a small special class for people with special needs like me.
I am not sure what the non swedish term is for this but after I graduated elementary school I started gymnasiet which is where you go after elementary school in Sweden only this one was specially made for people with diagnoses like ADHD or aspbergers.
Currently I go there from monday to friday when I get to go home by train.
My first time there was very rough because not only were the students rude disgusting loud and obnoxious .
I also developed a depression which not only caused my grades to fall like crazy and I eventually considered suicide and I tried to hang myself in the bathroom atleast 4 times with a shirt that I had stuck onto were you hang handtowels.
Eventually I brought myself out of it by first talking to my mom about it and later to my dad.
This year I actually discussed this with my psychology teacher and she actually admitted the system had failed to help me out with my depression and suicidal attempts.
Eventually my grades returned to normal and for the first time ever this year I finally got complete grades including math.
There are also some not so pleasant memories I am sharing with ya'll
in several instances during elementary school I have beaten up kids for various reasons.
Such as making caricature drawings of teachers then refusing to erase them or even younger kids making fun of me by mimicking me.
Historically I have had many problems with making friends and keeping them
my social skills are also not the best but things have been improving gradually thanks to support from both teachers and my parents.
I also tend to isolate myself in my bedroom quite often when I am at home preferring to use the family laptop or browse the internet on my phone instead of spending quality time with my family.
I do have an impulsive buying problem where I spend all my funds on large amounts of fast food or google play gift cards because my current credit card won't allow online purchases.
I am not really sure where to go in life after I move out from home and I am not even sure what to get in terms of a job.
What do you think about I have written so far?
