I have autism and asperger's syndrome just like the rest of you lot

[deanerenata32]

I am going to be 35 next month, but I was diagnosed when I was 19. They caught it late.

I am single and I'm loving it. Who wants the hardships of marriage anyway?

Some people have speculated I am borderline. I’ve never been tested. There’s no benefit at this point but it maybe could’ve been beneficial during schooling years. Maybe. It also could’ve created more issues.

Some people on CF think Autism is a sin. Don’t believe it. (tho making excuses for yourself would be)

Welcome.

I am 30 & have always wanted to date & get married. I don’t like being single.

Oh, I am sorry to read that. I hope you can find a spouse soon.

No, autism is not a sin. It's a brain disorder. Whoever says its a sin, I would be like: "Well, the person who has autism didn't ask to be born with it, they were just born that way and it is wrong to judge them. They can't help it that they have autism."

Is what I would say anyway. People like me who have autism didn't ask to be born that way, we just were. If I could take away my autism I would; but as of now there is no know cure for it.

Doctors don't know how to cure autism right now and it may be many more years until they do.

I would add it's more a personality than anything. Would you agree w/ that?

I agree, I was diagnosed around the age of 7 (now 26). The single life is wonderful.

I wasn't diagnosed until my 30s. I love being married.

56 m Oklahoma City, diagnosed with Asperger in 2007 and single. I know where you are coming from there.

Other than the one part I love being single.

I did some sales jobs to overcome the worst of my Autism. Since going to public school didn't help me learn to socialize like my dad thought would magically happen. If my parents knew how often they were going to get called up to the school for me fighting people, they would have never sent me.

If not for Jesus my life would have likely led to some version of live by the sword, die by the sword. Still there are times I'd prefer to do things my way and it's a cross to bear.
