I am 19 years old, and have Asbergers syndrome, those who know this syndrome knows it’s incurable and makes me a social retard.
This means I lack certain basic human functions, I can’t tell if people are being sarcastic or nice, happy or sad, without directly asking them. This made all the other kids in school pick on me, and I lived with this until the 3 grade, when I changed school.
At this school there where bullies, not like the other ones I hade faced on the other school. These guys actually physically harmed the people they picked on.
And of course they found me and I got into my first real fight, this where the time of my life I realised I was bigger and stronger then the other kids on my age and that I could fight back. But being a social retard as I am I started fighting to much and became the biggest bully on the school.
As you can imagine this did dent exactly earn me any friends, but it did attracted the kind of people that told me they where my friends and wanted me to beat up other kids for them.
But of course I grew to the point I realised how much of an idiot I really was, so I stopped fighting completely, and all the people that cold themselves my friends, left, and I where alone.
Having this syndrome means I don’t have the ability to like or dislike anything, I either hate it, or I’m fanatically obsessed with it.
This is when I got a super Nintendo from my mom and guess what game, Mortal Kombat 3, I couldn’t stop playing it and it became the greatest thing in my life at that time.
But when I became a teenager I fell into a grate depression, I just did dent know how to make friends and people only talked to me to be polite. My father was mentally abusive and spent all day drinking, and telling his kids what looser they where, this got to my brother and did dent exactly help my feeling of self worth either.
After a while I fell into a depression so deep I took allot of pills to try and kill my self, but thankfully I chickend out and called the hospital and they saved my life. This of course got me sent to a shrink, and they finally found out about my syndrome, this helped me allot because then I knew why I did allot of the tings I did.
This new found knowledge got me my first friend because I had finally learned how to talk to another human being, in a none insulting or threading way. This friend is still my best friend to this day and I owe him my life, you se unlike me he wasn’t a social retard and had friends and a girl friend, while I on the other hand had no one except him to talk to and I still felt really lonely until it got to much, and as the idiot I where I tried to kill myself again, this time by cutting over my wrists. But my friend found me and got me an ambulance, if he had dent I would not be writing this now.
More time went and I met a new friend that were an brilliant artist and he inspired me to start drawing, this is now my greatest pleasure in life, and I deal with shit by drawing about it.
Now I got tree friends and for the first time I can imagine a future, and I have goals.
Sorry to bore you guys with my life story but I had to get it of my chest when I saw the chance true this thread.
