Asperger's Syndrome

Asperger's Syndrome

This is what makes me different.

It is what makes me both distant and compassionate.

It is what makes me both tired and creative.

It is what makes me both sassy and awkward.

It is what makes me both fairly normal and completely insane at the same time.

This is what makes me amazing.

It is what gives me my talents and achievements.

It is what gives me my intelligence and ideas.

It is what gives me my humor and individuality.

It is what gives me my passion and dedication.

This is what makes me flawed.

It is what makes me confused and anxious.

It is what makes me exhausted and frustrated.

It is what makes me uncertain and complicated.

It is what makes me lonely and depressed.

This is what makes me who I am.

It is both my curse and my blessing.

It is both the cause of my bliss and the cause of my sorrow.

It is both what leads me to make mistakes and what leads me to do great things.

It is both the founder of my past and my pathway to my future.
