When my son was diagnosed with Asperger's my wife decided that I shared a lot of the characteristics and I was later diagnosed. It is tough on both of us, My son in school and sports and me with career choices. A lot of people don't understand our humor and don't realize how seriously we take things.

I don't suffer from aspergers, I embrace it
I hear people say that they suffer from autism or aspergers. I would just like to point out that I am not one of those ones who suffers from aspergers but I embrace it. Sure times get tough such as social situations, workplace environments and gatherings however that is just a few downfalls compared to all of the assets. I like to say that I have a wealth of knowledge and what I don't know it doesn't take long to learn because of the way that I see things. I am capable of doing many things, especially predicting the weather (which makes gardening a lot easier). The main reason that I don't feel that I don't suffer from it is because due to my social outcasts now I don't have to tolerate idiots that don't have a clue of what I'm talking about even though I "think" that I make perfect sense, but since they don't understand me they leave me alone which gives me more time to focus on the things that I love such as gardening, astronomy (not too much astrology) and of course BASEBALL. So what I would like to encourage everyone with aspergers or autism to do is instead of saying "I suffer from aspergers/autism" just politely say "I am blessed to have aspergers/autism because God only chose the best."
