Hi there.
I am 25
year old girl from a small city south of Poland (so English isn't my primary language). I am definitely not normal – I
suspect I have Asperger’s Syndrome or a few combined impairments (OCPD, sensory
issues, anxiety issues, NLD, hyperfocus...
which actually make the AS criteria when you combine them :D).
Getting an
official diagnosis is not easy in my country, especially when you are an adult
already. And when I was a child noone had a clue about AS - doctors were
calling me “gifted but socially impaired”. I am currently looking for a
possibility of getting a diagnosis but I don’t care much. I am quite high-functional
and my IQ of 128 makes me a fast learner so I learned how to copy by myself,
without any professional help. At the
moment of my life a diagnosis would be nice just to take part in the “Hire an
Ace” or similar job finding program that help AS people find a job. But I am
not in a hurry.
Currently I
am attending a weekend school to become an IT specialist. Computers are not my
special interest but I understand everything about computers instinctively so
it sounds like a good insurance for the future. I also have a bachelor’s degree
in Accounting but because of constant changes in the accounting laws I don’t
feel like working in this field. When I decided to get my degree there I was
thinking accounting job is just sitting in front of a computer and playing with
numbers day after day. So naive...
Anyway.
Since getting know about the Asperger’s Syndrome I started to pay more attention
to my daily life and realized how interesting it is: dealing with all the
issues using self-made copy mechanisms. For most of my life I wasn’t aware how
serious my impairment is and I didn’t really pay attention to small things like
how often I focus on one thing forgetting about everything else, how often I get anxiety thoughts, how the sensory
issues come in place and finally - how weird I act in socials situations. I have
always known I am different but didn’t have a clue how big the difference is. I
was always thinking everyone experiences are the same and they just deal with
it better. Apparently, it is not the
case.
