Both me and my dad have Aspergers. He's had an official diagnosis, and I'm not sure if I had or not. I don't really get told that stuff. I was first told that I might have it by the school social worker - she was talking about what makes a good friends, and she said empathy, and I said what's that, and it turns out that everyone else is supposed to feel things other people do or something. I get REALLY annoyed by noises, to the point where I have to go sit in another classroom near the end of school if the teacher has any fans on. However, for heaters I've noticed that if I hum I can't hear them. I spend most of my time doing math, and I'm the first girl in five or six years to be advanced 4 years in math. That's the limit, and it's really easy. I guess they can't advance me another year because they'd have to get another teacher just for one kid. I get off topic a lot, as you can probably tell. I get beat up a lot at school, and don't have a single friend. I also always end up in the principal's office because all of my teachers hate me.

I feel sorry for you. Over here in england, Autism and Aspergus's is a big problem. But we are so lucky because we can get help. We have Special needs schools and lots of other thing. I remember watching a documentary on TV once about this family who adopted a lot of children with special needs. I don't know how many specaial needs schools you have in America but some of them were home taught.
I was very lucky because when I was born everybody knew that I was going to have problems. (I had a difficult birth. My mum had a fit when she was pregnant with me and she needed an emergency cacerian) And was able to get help. But Gnomesquid, I know you sent this message a long time ago but if you need help, send me a message. Remember: You are not alone.
I hope you're OK. smile

Trust me, I've been there Gnomesquid. My mother always thought I'd have problems, and it turns out she was right. I was only diagnosed with Aspergers about 9 or 10 years ago, but I've obviously been dealing with it since a very young age. I had been kicked out of several preschools, and mom was worried. when I was about 14 or 15, mom finally decided to take me to a psychiatric specialist, who recognized my symptoms and diagnosed me with Aspergers.
By then, I had gotten into countless fights at school, several arguments, and only had a single friend in the whole school. I had a grand vocabulary, and very good grades, but just didn't do well with social interaction.
I was put on medication about a year later, and everyone noticed a vast improvement in my social interaction (Mainly not trying to pick fights with people who didn't agree with me), and much fewer total Meltdowns.
I continue to take medication because my doctor has been able to find me doses that work well for me, and they still help.
I still live with my mom, but am looking to find an apartment or something to rent with a friend of mine once I can get a steady well-paying job.
I am also trying to get into a good tech college so that I can pursue my dream job of Video Game design (Preferably working for Capcom).
And now for my Fun-Fact of the day (I also put this at the end of my "What's in a cure" reply)
Did you know?
That the creator of the Pokemon Franchise has Aspergers? It's on wikipedia, though I don't remember the guy's name. Just search for "Aspergers Syndrome" on the Wikipedia main page and read through the article.

Thank you for adding to my message.
I'm in a special needs college and I'm having a few problems at the moment. I don't want to tell you guys because it would upset me. To be honest we're having a few problems over here in England regarding schools. Some of them are closing down. My sister's school is a deaf and speech school. She's not deaf exactly but her schools had problems keeping open. They were a deaf school but were almost forced to close. So they had to open the school to speech children as well to save themselves.
I went down there for an assessment for the sixth form. It is a beautiful school and it's trying really hard to stay open.
It makes me feel sad because all these beautiful special schools have a really big weakness: the goverment. Some of these schools have been founded a long time ago. And some places are building new schools. If only they could look in their hearts and use one of the old schools then England would be a bit of a better place.

And now back to our original topic.
My dad quite posably has some form of aspbergers but it's hidden behind intalect. Like mine was for almost 17 years. I was always picked on in school because I actted funny and knew almost all the anwsers. And my art and second grade teachers visibly hated me because I would notice things that they would never have.
And I feel you on the noise thing. I had to take a computers class and all the typing nearly made me yell. Heck even me typing now is driving me a little crazy. I'm on my mom's desktop but for typing my lap top is better cause they have smaller keys that dont click as loudly.
