See, the thing with Aspergers is that we see everything in black-and-white when it comes to daily life. It's either this way or that way, no in-between. We really do want to express our feelings and make friends, we just don't know how. We live by a schedule which must be concrete, and if it's messed up the whole world falls down. When we believe something, it will be absolute unless something comes to change it, which we don't accept very well. Change is forbidden to our minds. When we don't understand, we flee the problem, not wanting to deal with the gray area. We deny constantly what the world presents, and we fight, thinking we are winning only to lose again, and weep over how confusing everything is.

That's a summary of how Aspergers people deal with some of the world. A very general summary, but it rings true for most people with this case. I thought you'd like to know.
