I have Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and possibly depression. I always feel like something is missing, but I can't tell what it is. I'm the only one I know of who gets no phone-calls other than wrong numbers and people I don't wanna talk to. yesterday i started taking prozac for depression and it is making me hyper and gets me sent to the time-out room at school! I feel like nobody understands me cause I am different. I'm sick of people saying they are my friends, but then acting like they dont care. I've had very few real close friends and I am 15. My grandma is pushing me to go to boarding school when we all know I don't wanna go. Now nothing makes me happy anymore   what should i do?

Replies californication Posted at 3:26 pm on June 6, 2007 Aspergers Syndrome is a disorder similiar to Autism. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see thats the definition, but my friend ryly is like yeah iuno he isnt bad or anything I really like him(as a friend) and hes a pretty nice kid. Its like not a negative thing, just fyi californication Posted at 3:24 pm on June 6, 2007 If you go to boarding school do it cus you want to not for others, but also maybe a change in your life is what you need, make some new friends and stuff like that, I would give it a shot if I was completely unhappy where I am now dreblex Posted at 3:23 pm on June 6, 2007 what is that syndrome? i feel sorry for you. i suggest you get a boyfriend, if you're feeling lonely and single Tavis Posted at 3:22 pm on June 6, 2007 Cheer up! Of course people are your friends Shannon, they just might not always want to show it! In school, people act so different from who they really are. Its the life of a teenager, I know that even I still pretend to not know people because they embarrass me. I know I'm not the only one, its only human nature to want to fit in as well as you can, but down under you just want to have the greatest friends you can find.   Possibly tell your grandpa that you want to stay at the school you are currently attending, he should understand that you are having difficulty finding a place to be yourself and that it won't help to move schools again. It is always tough to find friends at a new school, especially when you have the emotional separation from the last group of friends you found. I find that just talking to your parents and grandparents about what you think about decisions always has an impact on what they do, its only human nature to take other people's points of view into their decision. If he doesn't understand that, it is most likely because you either haven't stressed it out to him enough, or he feels that his decision is the proper one. Sometimes, although it may not seem like it, and you may want to refuse it for as long as you can, your parents and grandparents can be right. From the way I see it, which is the only way I see it, you are in the right, but if I was to talk to your grandparents, who knows, they may be making a very sensible logical choice for you. Either way, I wish you the best in this, and as always, pm me if you want to continue talking about it! :) californication Posted at 3:21 pm on June 6, 2007 My best friend has aspergers and I have depression, so if you wanna talk, message me All 5 previous replies displayed.
