You are right. Most young people don’t ‘get it’ and in between my first girlfriend and my Wife I met a number of women that liked me and were willing to date me up until I revealed to them I had ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome and OCD and some of them would tell their friends and laugh about me behind my back while others would avoid me like the plaque and it made me feel like **** and I thought I got lucky with my best friend because she loved me regardless of my disabilities but now I see they were doing me a favour because they showed me their true colours. I wouldn’t want to be with somebody as narrow minded and discriminative as that now and you shouldn’t either because you can do much better like I did with my Wife and my Wife is smarter, kinder and more beautiful than any of them.

This whole belief you are ‘wrong’ because you have Asperger’s Syndrome comes from the media and you need to ignore it because these are the same group of hypocrites that are the first ones in line to stand up against other forms of discrimination such as racism, sexism and homophobia but put down people with disabilities every chance they get. Ignore it because it is designed to give people low self esteem and ignore any other deadshit that tries to tell you that you are ‘wrong’ because you don’t fit into their definition of normal which is probably boring as hell. Instead of wasting your time focusing on what makes you different from those people focus on what makes you unique and what qualities you have that they lack because you are bound to have some. What are you good at? I realise it isn’t easy and most people won’t understand unless they have it too but don’t bury yourself into a hole.

There are many people with Asperger’s Syndrome that have gone on to become successful and John Denver, Dan Akroyd, Alfred Hitchcock, Bob Dylan, Jenny Simmons (Addison Road), Craig Nicholls (the Vines), Daryl Hannah, James Durbin, James Taylor, Robin Williams, Al Gore, Woody Allen etc are just a few of them and many people believe Albert Einstein and Thomas Jefferson had Asperger’s or ADD too and while I wouldn’t call myself famous I am a songwriter and a musician and I have had a few of my songs recorded by independent artists and bands here in Australia. I also work as a journalist and plan on becoming an author and a politician next. My Wife is my biggest fan and she says things like I am a musical genius and an amazing guitarist and when we first started dating she kept asking me to go on Australian Idol but I don’t like singing in front of big crowds and would rather be her singer.

You can be successful and if you are having trouble dating women your age then perhaps you should consider dating an older woman. My Wife is older than me and with the exception of my best friend I was always attracted to women that were around my sister’s age.
