What it means to me

If your reading this you probably already know that I have aspergers and that aspergers is an autism spectrum disorder. What you might not know is autism and everything under the autism umbrella affects everyone differently. It means something different to everyone. I went to school with someone to whom autism meant she could quote the name and date of all the early Disney movies including the names of the actors. She couldn't do a math or reading assignment without assistance. I know someone else to whom autism meant she could graduate high school and college but she has trouble with a job.
For me autism means I don't really know what it means. It means I need help with things others my age don't like remembering to eat and brush my teeth. It means I need help from Indy to leave the house and sit through the church service. It means I don't understand the same thing folks my age do. I'd rather watch Winnie the pooh and scooby doo or old westerns then the newer stuff on TV because I don't like to listen to cussing and I can't understand the social cues.

Well I gotta go
