a Little about ebing Autistic

If your look at the heading you will see being mispelled. perhaps i am slightly dyslexic except I can  touch type 70 words aminute without looking at the keyboard. Okay I may make a few errors.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome ADHD and other Motor difficulties when I was 48.

I would liek to talk to you about what I would wish for.

When I was very young I wish I knew how to make friends. That is others would be happy to be my friend.

I wish they didn't feel awkward being with me.

I wish they could have understood me.

I wish when I was young I hadn't missed out on Sex Education and I wish as a teenager at school that when I found one of the girl's in my class very attractive that I had the courage to have walked over to her and to know how to chat to her.

I wish I knew how to kiss a girl and didn't have to ask my mother how to kiss or when to kiss.

I wish that throughout my life I didn't find sex a taboo and could openly talk about it.

I wish I could have had girlfriends and when I did they could accept me as being normal and not different.

When I was married I wish I could have  been able to have been empathetic towards my wife when she needed me to be. But I could not because I did not know how.

When my children were young I wish they could have respected me but there were things about me they didn't understand.

I wish I was not misunderstood by my work colleagues who thought I was very rude and without  manners without social graces. But I didn't know or understand what life skills were.

When I was young I appeared very lonely but I was happy in my own world. My parents were advised to seek the advices of a child psychiatrist by my nursery school teacher but even after a decade of therapy how could the experts know what I had no one really knew what Autism or Asperger Syndrome was.

There are many other things I could have wished for.

To learn more about my relationship with autism you will have to wait for my next blog.

If you have any questions I may know some of the answers. Ideally I would like you to join my website community at www.lifebeyondlabels.com where you are welcome to post any question in the forum. you have to be registered to post.

My motto

is become like Humpty a unique and different egg who no longer fears being labelled knows how to not fall off his wall and become a cracked egg.

Live Life
