The early years, I had a lot of friends, but by 6th I was an outcast. I tried lying about having boyfriends or a twin sister in order to fit in, but that was a major fail. A person here or there was nice, but I didn't know how to be a good friend. By high school, I was a major slut. I didn't know how to fit in with the girls, but I found my nitch with the guys. That behavior ostracized me from the girls more. Later on, I learned to join clubs which allowed me to be a part of something which was what I was looking for all along. But, I still remember after twirling during halftime, a few of us girls went for happy meals. I thought ordering happy meals was silly, and thought is this what h.s girls really do? I once took a course in college on Interpersonal Communications, and that came at a time that I was mature enough to grasp it. That changed my life. I learned the rules for communication, and the rules for friendship. I clearly grasped why middle school and high school were terrible experiences. I wish I could go back in time truly understanding that knowledge. I hope this helps someone..

This has led to people not agreeing with the diagnosis. I think that its more about awareness that girls can present differently. We went to her doctor numerous times with concerns, which were overlooked. If it wasn't for a good friend that suggested that we have her evaluated, she wouldn't be getting the help that she needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-18644173612496285182012-03-28T07:56:00.770-07:002012-03-28T07:56:00.770-07:00Probably not, since two BOYS with asperger's r...Probably not, since two BOYS with asperger's rarely experience the same symptoms.
