How it feels to have Aspersers Syndrome by Erendira.
Aspergers syndrome mainly effects one thing, but to me, it might affect life. Aspersers’ syndrome basically effects how a person with it communicates with other people who don’t have it.
I feel awquard at certain times, and I feel different on the computer than in real life. I don’t know why. I don’t talk much and in the playground you’d find me wandering about other than playing. I can’t ask. I look at the world differently, and can get scared easily. I can’t help it. I don’t think people understand me as much as I don’t understand them. I can stutter in my speech alot and don’t make eye contact when talking to someone. I also get distracted easily.
No-one judges me, but there are alot of other autistic children who get judged. This, for me, is a bit sad. On the bright side, there’s a robot in England called Kasper. He helps autistic children be a bit more open to communication with other children. The people who built Kasper hope they will find a cure soon. But I don’t want to be cured. I’m happy how I am. If were different, why should there be a cure for it? It effects the mind, and I like the fact I’m different from others. In other words, I’m proud of being an aspie. Apies have a different mind from others and usually turn out to be smart, successful in life, and find a good job. I have a thirst for knowledge, especially in science.
I find it hard to find friends, and when I do, I don’t talk to them much. I love technolagagy and when it’s the weekend or I come home from school I always go on the computer. You won’t find me out much. I think the world is confusing yet beautiful, but I can get lost in life sometimes. I get upset about little things, like theres no biscuits left or Cullen won’t let me on the playstation 3. If you want to see me, I’d usually be on the computer. You may expect me to want to be a scientist when I grow up, but that’s part of what I want. I want to be a stand up comedian, because I love making people laugh. It makes me happy to make people laugh, though I don’t know why.
Being an aspie, even my eyes are different. That’s my favourite part about it. People describe eyes like mine as mysterious and a little misty, with a curious sparkle in them. They look deep and innocent. So if you want to tell a normal person from a person with Aspergers syndrome, look in their eyes.
I can’t interact with other people like others, but I interact normally to my family. I’m the only daughter in our house. My other two brothers, Cullen and Eathen, can be annoying. But they can be nice sometimes. I do love my mum and dad, like anyone would. I enjoy hugs.
I made no ammendments. All mistakes are her own and I love them.
