I am just sick and tired of all the "chatter" that goes on in my head about my Aspergers, especially as it relates to my job. I have disclosed my AS to my boss, and he was receptive. But what I constantly struggle with is the reality of it all - why does this have to be? why me? it's not fair!! etc etc........maybe it's just all part of the acceptance process. like anyone who must accept something painful......you know, "why me?" I am a 61 year old teacher.....I've been fired numerous times, without knowing what the heck was going on....then I found out about Aspergers as part of my teaching and saw how "it was me." but since then I guess I have fought this reality with all I've got. but sadly, this fighting hasn't cured me of AS..........thanks for listening.

I totally get that feeling too- wishing I could just be 'normal.' I'm pretty sure I'm somewhere on the spectrum and have even talked to family members about it but they just think I'm being silly for thinking that- but they don't have my reality- . . I thought it was just social anxiety but realize it's more than that.

The condition makes me feel sub-human.

I feel incomplete as a person, missing crucial things that make a human being a human being.

I don't know if I'm really on the spectrum, when I'm more anxious I think I overthink things- sometimes have trouble with eye contact and interpersonal relationships, but not recently, so I don't know. Sorry, maybe I should post this somewhere else,
