LUCY, A WOMAN WITH ASPERGERS SYNDROME 

Thank you both for this heart warming interview, I have Aspergers Syndrome and I'm always glad to meet another Aspie. I love having Aspergers Syndrome, it's what makes me unique and its a part of me.

Lovely video truly. I have 70 years of "un-diagnosed" Autism and call myself Aspergican, as preference to SAYING ASSS-BURRGERS!!. As this nice gentlemen and lady put well, feeling different comes with the territory. I personally achieved, learned and moved on day after day~~> mostly thru seeking solitude, avidly, and tolerating dealing with others with great difficulty and near total loss of all inter-personal relationships, total. Oh well.... When the true meaning of being a human finally comes to light, we will understand how ancient and bazaar our species really is. I have come to the conclusion that we were part of a very, VERY long ago, ancient, breeding system from some sort of earthly or non-earthly civilization. When we feel of another tribe, like sitting thru social situations feeling like you don't speak their language at all, then this can cause us a panic attack or social aphasia were we can shut out or exclude others, leading to them shunning us and understandably!! ~~~solitude is our blessing - to be fully embraced~~~ What were we breed for, you might ask? Of what use is a person with a high pain threshold, able to withstand long periods of solitude in sometimes harsh conditions and be content, intelligent and highly reasoning with ability to act without great regard for others emotions or feelings yet is loyal with high levels, very high, of mental concentration, and is highly perceptive beyond the normal perceived senses, WELL BEYOND????? ~~~~This warrior breed would be highly sought after~~~~ . Could we be the most mis-understood sub-species of human on earth, now??

Thank you both for doing this interview. I think it will help a lot of people.

Not just man's best friend, but Lucy too. :-) It would so good to see your service dog helping you. They (dogs) offer nothing but unconditional love and protectiveness. I'm sure your family and friends can feel safer knowing your service dog is there for you in those desperate times. Great job you did in training him (or her)?

My parents never noticed anything, except of criticizing and blaming me for not fitting in, because they were only interested into their own problems and greediness and mishappenings in life, so they always had a lack of observation for their own child...superficial people...even the doctors until now, were too stupid to see it, so that I have to mention it to them , with now 27 years old..

I can sooo much relate❤

I've just found this and was diagnosed AS at 19 also in 1997 and recently with PDA and ADD, related conditions .I didn't feel different just thought I was mentally ill or mentally disabled.I was bullied in my special school and walked out aged 17 and used to get aggressive.I was manipulative,angry and used to be obsessed with lads ,I get obsessivecutting out pictures,articles,following and taking photos etc its embarrassing.I'm 36 now and I am angry I wasted years on boyfriends who were all dodgy.I knew they were but dated them to "be normal"

This is me and I haven't been diagnosed.

What if we are aliens? Lol. I'm Being silly, but its a funny way to look at autism isn't it?

Thank you both for this I,m an AS female and could relate to every word .I have share with AS females Group

If you asked my parents about me they'll tell you lies. But a professional would hopefully spot the aspie ness in my father. And his father...

this woman does not have autism. no way.
