My Belief About Aspergers

Hello, everyone.

Yes, now I'm acting more serious than before in my previous posts. The subject, as the title suggests, is about Aspergers. Yes, anyone who has Aspergers or a high autism, I have it too. I never knew about my Aspergers syndrome since I had turned about twelve, I believe. I believe every parent who has a son or a daughter who was born with Aspergers, should hide the truth about their strange but very unique condition. Since I learned of it, and I went temporarily into depression, believing myself cursed. Don't take that the wrong way, and most importantly, DO NOT GET SUICIDAL. If you do go through that, fight it! I have heard some with Aspergers has committed suicide. It just isn't worth it. There are so many things you haven't done yet. And also, God loves you and will always be with you. He loves you so much that He sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Yes, God loves those who have Aspergers too. In fact, He made us with Aspergers. Many of us don't know why, and personally I do not know why I was born with it either. All I know is that God did it for a reason. Don't let Aspergers affect you. Hey! check this extraordinary person out: Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin grew up in a time when autism was not recognized. She was diagnosed with brain damage, and was later diagnosed again, but with what all call Aspergers Syndrome. She hated to be touched be a human, and later dreamed of a "hugging machine" that created the feeling of being cuddled in a mother's arms (she exhibited this type of behiavior whenever being held be her mother--she squirmed because of it). She is now living a great life, and now accepts friendly human touch forms, such as being patted on the back or a warm hug. She excels in the area of animal welfare. Here are some wise sayings she once said:

"I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect." (We also owe each other respect)
""If I could snap my fingers and become nonautistic, I would not - because then I wouldn't be me. Autism is part of who I am." (In other words, accept autism (Aspergers) as a part of who you are--don't reject it.).

After I learned about Temple Grandin, I felt much better, knowing I wasn't the only person to have autism. So don't feel bad at all about your condition. You know God loves you so you shouldn't have to worry. Try to get better. Don't be sad; be happy that you still have a great life ahead of you and so much to do. Think about your condition. I guarantee it that you will feel better about your state. Thank You, God and Christ, for loving every one of His children.

I really enjoyed your post! We have a soon-to-be 8 year old son who we believe has Asperger's so your perspective is greatly appreciated!

Do you believe parents should not ever tell their children about their Aspergers label? What about parents of children with other degrees of Autism?
