When I was little, I never cried. Never. I played in a crib all day and was unnervingly quiet. My parents always worried about me because of that.
When I was two, not only was I speaking in completely sentences, I was reading signs and some books by myself.
I always thought this kind of stuff was normal, but I now know that I'm in the minority. It's funny looking back on it that no one thought to have me screened for anything.
This is the diary of my life, mostly as it relates to Asperger's Syndrome. I was undiagnosed until I was 27, and didn't even know what autism was until 26.
About Me
About This Blog:
I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism, in early November 2007. As part of my personal therapy, I'm using this blog to study the way I look at the world and see what actions are directly caused by my AS and how I can fix them.
All of my blog entries are written in real time with no editing to preserve my true perspective on things. Due to that, there may be many typos.
The blog is mainly for me, but I decided to make this public in case there's even one other person out there that I can help with this.

I was also a creepily quiet infant, and was talking at six months, reading books at 2. My mom harps incessantly on it, whenever given the opportunity.
