I Have Aspergers Syndrome

I'm a 27 year old woman with Asperger's Syndrome. I am high functioning autistic but can do most things on my own. There are some things that are still hard for me and still working on, but I am a person just like everyone else. I have feelings too. Sometimes I have a hard time expressing my feelings but eventually tell. I was a special ed student from kindergarten all the way to senior year of high school. Well I went to a vocational school for adults with special needs to learn about different jobs and had work experience. Some people judge people before getting to know them. I despise people that bullies anyone, especially people with disabilities. I see or hear people talk crap about autistic people makes me so angry. I've been isolated in high school sometimes and never included with groups....I did sometimes. I was thinking it was because of my disability. I went through depression and to tell you the truth, I've had suicidal thoughts. I did talk to a social worker about my feelings. I still do have those though and self harm myself at times but not like I did when I was a teen. When I get angry I do kind of hit myself but not in front of people. I do have a mind of a child at times, but I do act mature.
Sure my brain is wired differently, but I am a person with feelings so I don't let haters get to me. I'm currently going to college to be a special ed assistant because I got inspired my my former special ed teachers.
Having Aspergers really sucks, but I gotta live what I got and accept that I will always be autistic and autism will never go away.

I like drawing, workout, hang with family and friends, acting, making YouTube videos just for fun, and having fun.

@ScrotieMcBoogerBallz: um..it depends what they are interested in. If it's interesting, I'll read it.

@MyCreativeThoughts: most anything to do with the sciences, or occult or even a fiction that has incredible depth and detail would keep me enthralled for a good while.
