Julfreeeeey92 Kamira Erythren I'm on one end of the spectrum (Aspie's) and my brother who is 2 years younger than I am is on the other (they called it "high functioning" Autism, but he has his days). ooh ok. yeh anyone with any form of autism can have good or not so good days, but so does everyone else in their own ways. my brother is also known to be on the high functioning part of the spectrum, having PDDNOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder—Not Otherwise Specified). from your pt of view what is your daily life with your family and friends.
Yeah, this is rather true.
Every day is a different thing. We try to stick to a routine at home, so that our diets don't get screwed right up, and that our sleep schedules don't end up wrong and whatnot. Friends who understand tend to stick around more, which both my bro and I are thankful for.
He has a full-time aid in school (highschool), and I'm a highschool grad... so yeah. College doesn't want me 'cause of the struggles in math I have.
... Longer post than I wanted.

BlaisexHarman Julfreeeeey92 BlaisexHarman Aside from Asperger's I am epileptic , and have a bit of add. Im not sure if its a disability thou... stare ..Also I may or may not have a sleeping disorder hey it doesnt matter if you have a disability or not, being able to talk about yourself to others is a great start to overcoming anything. people should do it more often, so dont put yourself down okay? 3nodding and i believe ADD is a disorder it just depends on how it effects you or where exactly you stand, like wih autisdm and other disabilites or disorders. Also, not being sure about something is okay too, i don't know every single thing but i am willing to help or just talk to others smile Yeah I'm a bit wary about being diagnosed with anything or receiving special treatment because of past experiences, I was on disability ( due to epilepsy and how the meds may affect me) but because I function and seem more or less normal, most people including myself doubted it and some of the students started thinking I was trying to get easy notes ( one girl actually said it out loud "if i get disability do i get free notes?" something like that.) After that and having epilepsy since I was 5 ( and dealing with its role in my daily life) Im not sure if I want to be 'officially' diagnosed with Asperger's or add, or anything else ( as in im not sure i want to share) . Even though I have nearly all of th characteristics of asperger's and whatever test they give me Im sure I would pass it with flying colors. yeh personally i think that if you don't feel the need or want to theres no need to put ur self out ther as some1 with a disability, but i dont think you should let this "girl" get to you, you should be proud of who you know no matter what others think...she seems like a bi@#% anyways... as long as its not effecting your everyday life, i dont see why it should matter if you get tested or not i feel its your choice (i prob repeated sorry lol)

Yeah, I actually do need disability this semester, I'm taking the full course ( four classes) and i tried to do it without it...but i cant. I also actually need the note-taking in one of the classes and i am dreading it, the teacher will pick the note taker but...eh, wish me luck. And I'm actually a lot more open with my epilepsy ( the aspie..not so much but hey, one step at a time right?) This guild's actually helped a lot. This post specifically, thank you for that

My 7 year old son has the form of autism known as Pervasive Developmental Disorder, or PDD. My brother, who is a member of this site, has Aspergers Syndrome. My son won't leave his clothes on. In school his aide chases him around and keeps dressing him, so running around in his birthday suit in class has mostly stopped. At home he keeps taking off his clothes. My mother and myself keep dressing him, but it doesn't work. My daughter doesn't understand why I have to keep chasing him around and supervising him. She'll complain, "Mommy, why does he get to wear diapers?" "Why do you talk to him in a different way?" She thinks I'm favoring him over her, but I'm not. If he's not watched carefully my son will do things like play in his own poo, break glass or get a hold of the knife drawer. At least my children go to school full time, so I can get a break and recharge my batteries.
