If you don't want to be ridiculed outside for your autistic condition, sometimes the best way to be part of the world is to not communicate or relate to other people in this world at all. I say this because i really struggle to live with my autism, especially because everytime i try to learn from normal people such as in the way they approach others and bring up random subjects, i always seem to do it wrong. The most frustrating thing about my autism is that i am never aware of the consequences of my actions, or that they might cause people in public to start staring at me as if i am from Planet Mars. No wonder i always feel as if i don't belong on earth and that life is no longer worth living. I wish i could think more when it comes to so many things, and i wish i could understand everything, especially other human beings. But it's as if there is something wrong with my brain, that it's not working properly, which perhaps it isn't. But then autism is a brain disabling disorder, so autistics are bound to become mentally disabled, causing them to be unable to think, understand or solve problems. The whole time i have been alive, i still struggle to function properly in everyday life and make sense of the whole world around me.
I keep on and on saying that i want to 'get better', and i want to be able to, but i can't! It's hard for such a mental condition not to cause you to reach the end of your tether. If only there was some sort of cure out there! If there was a cure for autism, then i would go out there straight away and get that cure. That's how much i am completely frustrated and wish i wasn't autistic. If i wasn't, then i would have been very happy; perhaps a lot happier than i am now. Posted on 07/06/07, 07:07 am |

Here's a big hug from me. I understand where you are coming from. I see it with my sown son at times. I have always said that is is a wholy intact person inside struggling to express himself and to come out. It seems at least with the written word and with sufficient time to gather your thoughts, you are gifted in your ability to express yourself. I applaud you. I know there are times when in my son's own mind he is saying exatally what he means and he can't understand why we don't instantly understand what he means. He does try like yourself. He makes a great effort and we try to be as kind and understanding as we can. It's a long road for him and for us. We are all learning everyday. Good for you, for using every opportunity to improve youself. I think we can all learn a big lesson from our children. chin up, you are understood here! :)

my son can not express himself in words. How he feels esp the aggressive times, so he hits instead. himselfs etc..do u think your ability to write and speak lessen your level of frustration? did u ever wonder that because of the way u feel that u could help other people ? maybe lets say... give words that someone can not say? or explain why its so import to have behaviours? what it feels like if u could not have a behaviour? like banging hands like my sons does.
my point in this is saying u do have a right to be here, do u think i give people much of my time when they stare at my boy? anh...no. im usally too busy with him at thoes times to really care what people think. i know my son understands every damn thing said around him and to him. just because he can communicate it back. he knows.. he is not unable to think nor are u because u had to think to to write this. let alone find the link to get online. what do u think?? sharon
