Asperger Syndrome a type of autism that makes you very very shy IRL, thanks for me I'm not as shy :D
But it can seriously inept interpersonal communications :(

I myself don't have the syndrome. But the son of my friend does! He's 12 now and it's not as easy with him as you wish it would be.

Most of it shows through his inability to eat anything he does not know or like ... which is a lot of course. So cooking for him is quite the challenge. My friend always says that he is living proof that vitamins and nutrients are not needed to survive ;)

But I guess the hardest part is that he just can't really show his love for his mother, my friend. Sometimes she's inside a downward spiral about her son not loving her and so on. It's quite the challenge to remind her of his syndrome.

Interestingly enough, he never had any problems of bonding with me and I never felt that his body language is off or that he's not correctly responding to my verbal an nonverbal communication. But I really don't know why that is. Maybe I just don't recognize it because I was prepared from the first moment onwards.

So yeah. I can see that this can put a lot of pressure on you and on others around you. But I hope that you've got people in your life who are not confused or taken aback by your behaviour!

Yes used to have condtion Asperger Syndrome, I'm a little bit older than you, but due to my condition, I always wondered "what people would say about it" sometimes even too much, even though I'm not as that interested in females as males

We think too much about social conventions about what we can not do.

I used to think about how it would be possible to join ESA (European Space Agency), to the Astronaut training program, but unfortunately, although my country is a member of ESA, we do not participate in crew programs, such as the ISS, but it is not as serious a problem as I was a little kid I had a concussion that resulted in a short episode of epilepsy, and although I am completely healthy now alredy for many years , I can forget about obtaining the required health certificate for even a basic aerial license
I am left with the issue of my Asperger Syndrome,

But now I think I'm too worried and I was too much a good boy.

Maybe just not tell doctors about my past, so they are not so judgmental :D
