A little about me

So some of you are probably curious as to why I posted the blog about Spinelli and Asperger's? Well although I have not been diagnosed with Asperger's I know deep down in my heart that I have it. I knew I was always a little different. I never really connected well with those my own age, like Spinelli I found and still do find great comfort from adults.

I was bullied all through middle school. It's hard for me to trust my peers, I never could understand why. I always thought my connections with the adults in my lie was a little strange. I mean most kids my age don't do that. But then I come to realize that they're the ones who understand and appreciate me the most, they don't judge me, they listen to me, they care about me, they're always there when I need a listening ear.

I think that I have a much deeper understanding of myself now that and why I do struggle so much with connections. I also just find myself on some days preferring to be alone rather than with other people. I joined a social group on campus, I went to my second meeting yesterday and it seems to be helping me grow out of my fear of connecting. I have met 2 people who struggle with social interactions like I do so now I don't feel so alone.
