Re: Needing some advice.....

[Guest guest]

Hi , That's great! I believe you should celebrate- I am giving my monitor a high five- join me! I began to love myself more after I learned I am AS, too. For me, prayer was part of this too- realizing that he loves me as I am, and that He created me this way, made me more accepting of myself- and then, more accepting of others. After I acknowledged where I am and who I am, and did not cover it up with false pride and unrealistic embarrassment, I began to love and accept myself as I am, and to grow in areas I had not really grown in much before. It is a whole new world for me! I think this is what is happening to you, too. wrote: I need your input on something that I am dealing with for the past few days, everyone. Until a few days ago, I hadn't listened to love songs on the radio and wanted to avoid them like the plague. However, something is happening to me. As I have been listening to a number of love songs, I feel like I am beginning to love myself unlike I have in the past. It's definitely a different feeling. Why is it that until I was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's that I couldn't convey my feelings to others in past relationships, including my most recent one - but now I am conveying feelings to myself in that I

love myself truly? And these feelings of expectations I once had and all? They have been evaporating. Could someone tell me if this is normal for someone with Asperger's to feel this way or not? I have no clue what any of this means, because I haven't experienced anything like this before in my life. Should I even be concerned? Could someone tell me if this is normal or not? Is this a way of trying to tell myself that it's ok to love myself?Thanks for reading this and for letting me know,

Hey ....

Thank you. *High fives you*. I do see where prayer and meditation

and such fit in very well. I've thought about taking a yoga class as

well. I feel great in knowing I don't need to cover myself up

anymore and just let my life be what it is. I am very thankful I

came into this world the way I did. I've gone past the stages of

acknowledging and accepting who I am. I am becoming my own best

friend and am beginning to love myself. It's so wonderful in knowing

my world is opening up. It feels nice knowing I can express myself.

, That's great - doesn't it feel good to like yourself? A friend told me today that I should be sure to not take it to heart of someone is offended, and I did not yell at the person, get angry, or do something else that I know might have caused a fuss- because people get bent out of shape based on things that really are not my fault. I thought it was a great thing for her to say. Still learning, wrote: Hey ....Thank you. *High fives you*. I do see where prayer and meditation and such fit in very well.

It is a great feeling (connector) to feel this way. If people want

to be offended by what I say, they are not worth my time

(connector).

Dear ,

I am so happy for you. It sounds like you are giving yourself

permission to be you. (Free to be me.) I think your diagnosis had a

big part to play in that. I'm sure that many of us when feeling

different from others and finally find out why feel much less restricted

in how we respond to outside stimulus.

Congratulations! You go!

Ann

Hi Ann....

That, and I keep myself busy and such. I am about to be elected to

the congregation's council on Thursday night, either as the Assistant

Financial Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. That's why it is

important for people who are diagnosed with Asperger's to get

themselves involved through volunteering or in some capacity to be

around people. I am starting to become very busy outside of work I

don't have time to hide within my apartment I prefer it that way.
