Quotes from some people with Aspergers

“There is only so much that I have to say and only so much that I want to listen to from someone else. Once that’s gone, it’s time to leave”
“If my environment is structured then I am more stable and less emotional”
“I have done such a great job at pretending to be normal that nobody really believes I have Asperger’s”
“Children’s parties were something I would dread because of balloons and shouting children. I never liked parties, most of all because they are noisy”
“My emotional range is quite extreme and somewhat rudimentary. However, when I engage in my special interest on my own, I can access a greater emotional realm and landscape that is wonderful and safe for me, in that context”
