The Aspie Project
[The Doctor:] Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Hills. Thank you for coming. Have a seat, please. As you told me, your son is indeed quite unique - but, lucky for us, there is a name for his symptoms. Your son has "Asperger's Syndrome". Now, this is an autism spectrum disorder, that is characterized by significant difficulties. I know, I know, it sure sounds very fancy and a bit scary maybe, but there is no need to worry, I assure you. You see, Aspergers, or "Aspies", as we sometimes call them, they do have their manual, but that definitely does not mean they won't be able to live a perfectly happy life. Well, what you need to understand, is that the way of processing incoming information is quite different from other people. And by "processing information" I mean all kinds of information, like verbal or non-verbal communication, sounds, sights and even smells or tastes. Now, for an Aspie, this information comes in all at the same time, there is no filter. All senses and incoming information are experienced much, much more intense, and therefore sometimes hard to understand.

[The Doctor:] Young Aspies have to learn how to deal with social interactions. For example, they're often afraid to look other people right into the eyes - it can overload their senses. As for everyone, childhood is the best time to learn this kind of social skills.

[The Doctor:] Making friends can be very difficult for Aspies. For many, social behaviour is an unknown area. Finding a good balance between giving and taking is very, very important in building friendships. Support, practice, and building up their self-esteem are the keys to success.

[The Doctor:] Having a relationship can be very difficult for Aspies. They often experience fear when they physically touch other people for the first time. Besides, you could say that Aspies are mostly blind to emotion - it is very hard for them to show and to understand emotions.

[The Son:] I have a box, I want to tell you about It's this place in my head Where I keep my secrets Made from rotten wood It holds stains Of blood splattered all over It describes my life, a gospel And the chapter and verse Preached to me [The Mother:] Some of us fools just not admit [The Son:] All of them committed horrors To create themselves [The Mother:] Forgotten fears That belong to the past [The Son:] If only they could have stayed there And wither away I try not to ever open the box When I do, I'm forced to see All those faces that look like me Bursting out sounds no one can hear They don't move right They distort Over the noises they create Inside their minds [The Mother:] Some of us fools just not admit [The Son:] All of them committed horrors To create themselves [The Mother:] Forgotten fears That belong to the past [The Son:] If only they could have stayed there And wither away Their eyes widened in terror Afraid of light and impulses They are images of my past Parts of my personality I killed To become the person that I am today [The Mother:] Why would you hurt yourself When it's so clear? [The Son:] The horrors will just disappear [The Mother:] Screaming and scraping You're down on the floor [The Son:] Please stop, I can't take it anymore [The Mother:] Why would you hurt yourself When it's so clear?

[The Doctor:] Just like all other people, Aspies can make the decision to work on their abilities, to turn their weakness into a gift. Often Aspies are very, very intellectual, that is something they can use in their advantage, of course. You should know that this does require a great amount of willpower. But of course, that doesn't mean it's impossible.
