RE: Small teachers

in #asperger7 years ago

Wow. I have Aspbergers syndrome and this described me when I was much younger pretty well. Thank God my parents got me diagnosed when I was 4 and got me help from then on.

It's weird how as a little boy, I thought I was really cool and really awesome, and that everyone liked me, when looking back at it now, I was really shy, insensitive, annoying, naive, and stupid. Everyone really didn't like me at the time.

Up until around 4th grade, I was the kid that people either tried to stay away from, or was friends with because they felt bad for me. After that, I had tons of friends and I was so much better than before.

When I was in 7th grade, I had General Music, a class where we learn about and compose music. During that class, I discovered my savant power, which is that I am a complete master of producing music. I made songs better than everyone else, ones that everyone loved, and it was my first time.

Give me a computer, a copy of FL Studio, a MIDI keyboard, a microphone, and 3 hours, and I'll create an amazing song for you.

So yeah, that's me and my Autism.

Excellent story, I've always thought that people with asperger have a lot of potential, and the duty of people close to them, is to help develop and exploit that potential, because with a little support these people can achieve great things.
