Survey : What are the Negative aspects of an High functioning Autistic person

Self pity, buying into the negative stereo types, being unhappy or feeling trapped in grief, low self esteem, boring, bored, lonely, anti social behavior and alienation, health issues, fear, dis orientation, dyslexia, hypo behavior, in appropriate mannerisms, melt downs, snap rages, lack of comprehension, different language or lack of it, hyper sensitivity, poor body image, no sense of body space, clumsiness ... lack of faith.... not knowing that its your life and you really can choose against all of the above, transform them into positives and find your own way through,.... oh this should have been on the Positive Aspects of being a High Functioning Autistic thread. ...hate christmas... but I live in hope that i can fix that.I just have to stop feeling frightened and humilated by it..

I raised my boy to believe he was special, I helped him not to buy into stereo types, he was always right not the system, I tried to make sure he learnt to function according to his intuition. incidentally its been tough for him but he experiences very little of the above I always saw it coming and mostly managed to cut it off at the pass I had already experience it, so he wouldn't have to. Good luck with your little boy
