More about Me

I don’t like people getting too close –
I need my personal space.
I’m not very good at organising myself or my things – I may need help.
I can be very pedantic sometimes. I often take things literally. Please be clear about what you mean.
?¿?¿?
Do you have any more questions?
You might try asking me. If I can't tell you (usually I wouldn’t) what you want to know my parents might be able to help.

[My name]

. . . using the computer
. . . creating pixel pictures
on the computer
. . . reading books
. . . my pets
. . . stuff about vampires
. . . animals

I have
Asperger Syndrome

. . . I may get irritable if it's very noisy or if there is too much going on at the same time. / . . . I find it very difficult to talk to teachers, especially if they speak to me first. / . . . I am very shy with some people but not with others.
. . . may have a hard time telling you what I am feeling. / . . . It sometimes takes me a while to settle and I need some time to sort out what I have to do. / . . . I don’t like many different types of food.
. . . I often get upset when things change and in new situations where I don't know what to expect. / . . . Sometimes I really don’t understand the homework and it might help me if someone checks before I leave the lesson. / . . . I don’t like it when people sit in my place (eg when we have a substitute teacher and everyone sits wherever they want to)
I like using emailtocontact my friends… I find it easier to talk to people by internet/email because in real life I am quite shy with most people.
I also have a good sense of humour!


Some things to know about Asperger Syndrome

Asperger’s is a form of Autism.

You can’t catch Asperger’s from me (it’s not too bad anyway)!

Nobody knows what causes Asperger’s, so we cannot make it go away.

People are born with Asperger’s and will have it always. People with Asperger’s can learn lots of things. Many of them will grow up to have good jobs.

Children with Asperger’s need friends just like you do.

Children with Asperger’s don’t like special attention but still need help with things and need you to understand them.
