» dasmith - I always knew I was not like other people...

If its any condolance your not the only one. This is my daughter also. She is a touch me not and dont look at her for a breif time or she sceam quit looking at me. No friends really doesnt care if she has any. Only thing going she has is she LOVES to sing and very good at it. Has no emotion in it though. Wont even say thank you when someone compliments her. No eye contact. She also is a very attractive girl and people love to hear her sing. She is 15 on homebound cause she can not cope with being in school has anxiety attacts. People always tell her she is a freak, standoffish and weird. I have done alot of reading on aspergers. The book im reading now is Asperger syndome and adolescence helping Teens get ready for the real world. By Teresa Bolick. VERY GOOD BOOK! At what age did you get diagnoised? Sara was diagnoised about 2 mths ago. No one could ever figure out what was wrong. Just thought she was quiet and shy. but that was not the case at all. From what I see what your going though is pretty norm for a asperger. Read and educate yourself there is lots of techniques you can use. Good luck!
