So.... getting diagnosed

Hearing that your different is hard to take in.... you spend your nights thinking about being accepted and being just like everyone else...... then you get told, "Sorry, your not normal", what people dont realize is i am normal im normal to me, all this hoping to be normal is just to please everyone else to fit in with societies version of whats acceptable.

my girlfriend had a friend over the other day and she was upset as she was leaving, she started to cry.... so i tried to tell her about how google thought that they were getting cyber attacked by hackers the day micheal jackson died due to the high amount of internet traffic they were seeing and that they were actually thinking of shutting google down till it stopped, it made her laugh though.... and i know now a few days after that maybe saying "its ok dont worry" might have been the better response,  it worked i guess ? it made her laugh rather than making her worse.

The world didnt change when i got diagnosed, im not suddendly a different, better , smarter more normal person, but i understand that i dont think like the people around me, i probably have more in common with my kids than i do with anyone else. i dont know anyone else with aspergers, and if there anything like me its gonna be hard to find them, also its good to have your better half understand that your not a mean person you just find it hard to consider them when processing whats going on around you .
