My entry for josephine12cute's challenge "Confessions".
My confession is something a few people already know about me.
I have Asperger Syndrome which is a high functioning form of Autism. I've always known i've had Bi-polar disorder and its never really bothered me much since I was diagnosed with it when I was really little but I don't like my Asperger Syndrome very much, its not my favorite, but I don't like my Bi-polar either. My Aspergers just bothers me the most. I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome when I was 12.
I get kind of sad knowing I have Aspergers because I know i'm not like everyone else. I have problems with socializing with other people, I can't handle certain situations well, I get bad Anxiety, I can't tell if someone is being sarcastic, and many other things that are hard on me. But there are good things that can come from Aspergers too, like being able to think differently than other people.
I never really had many friends because of my Aspergers cause I didn't know how to interact with other children, and I was teased because I was different.
Lots of therapy and medication have made it easier on me so its easier to deal with. The years of therapy and medication have made me the person I am today. When I was younger I was much worse, but its still troublesome.
When things get to much for me, I still tantrum sometimes but only with just screaming, crying, and kicking things.
I try to look on the bright side of this disorder that makes me such a unique person though.
Despite not liking my Aspergers I accept it because it makes me who I am. I like being different. I'm unique and i'm one of a kind. I'm original.
