Asperger's adults
Source
We always see children with autism from the first years of life and we see it develop during childhood through adolescence, but what happens when this child who had autism, who was diagnosed at an early age, becomes an adult? what happens to that child? what happens to that adult?
That adult who brings his habits, his way of seeing life, his fears, his limitations, his attachment, his stereotypes, his isolation. What happens to them?
"Do your symptoms go away?
The reality of autism is not reality, it is really a set of symptoms, of sensations that the child, the adolescent and the adult have during their process of growth, formation and habits..
When we talk to an adult with a diagnosis of Autism, and that adult has not been treated, either by therapies, medication, diet, groups, we get a person who has simply adapted to their environment, to lifestyles adopted to survive in an environment that demands attention, social relationships, hugs, kisses, skills that autistic people are unable to manage..
During the years of adult development, they learned to cope with their environment as best they could..
In many cases, he has been able to hug or kiss in an unconventional way.
The Asperger adult adapts to situations, he learns to live in a bubble where he is the one who manages it, isolating himself from the world and only those people who are able to understand and adapt to what he wants to enter..
The next time you see someone who excludes himself, who turns away, do not reject him, think that he may be an adult who has not yet channeled his emotions because of a latent autism.
Dear @mariu.espinoza
Finally I've managed to find time to read your previously bookmarked publication.
I must admit, that until recently I didn't know much about asperger condition and I've learned little bit from @joseph1956
I've been wondering, if it's easier or more difficult for people with Aspergers to work and communicate online (comparing to doing same in real life)?
I also wonder - how does it feel to build life with someone who suffer those conditions. It must be very challenging at times.
Thanks for posting within PH. Upvote on the way :)
Yours, Piotr
Greetings, it is not until now that I can calmly read the comments of my articles, since I hardly had time to publish them, the children finished school and homeschooling is down, so I can read my readers, and I know that you commented on this article some time ago and it is not until now that I can respond to it.
He asked me if it is easier or more difficult for people with Asperger's to work and communicate online (compared to doing the same in real life)."
I answer: it is more difficult, in spite of having a capacity of speech, comprehension and vocabulary management in the case of the two that accompany me Elias and Jose the lack of communication that is not the same as talking affects each one from their point of view logically reasons what they want to express not always achieve a fluid communication, sometimes you just have to "send to hell and that's it" so there is no discussion (the real life thing that I can not understand or link to your comment).
I also wonder what it's like to build a life with someone who suffers from those conditions. It must be very challenging at times.
To begin with, we do not suffer, we live this condition.
Fortunately we have had to live it in perhaps the best way to be able to cope with it, high-functioning autism. (Other autisms are much more demanding).
It feels.... difficult, joyful, light, strong. Sad, happy, it's like anyone else, only with a certain way of seeing life, (I'm talking about my case) living with Jose is an adventure of discovering autism from an adult perspective, of someone who learned to survive in the world without knowing why he was "WEIRD", very different from Elias who you show him the world and try to make it easy for him, but they are people who process concepts, experiences in a very different way than the rest of us (neurotypical). It makes me want to kill him (Jose)? yes sometimes hahahahahahahahahahahah but who doesn't sometimes kill his partner.
Challenging yes, but we have achieved in better gear to cope with this family in highs, lows and I always say it, Jose is my best complement, he has made me a better person.
I hope that these answers, late but nice to do so, will answer some of your concerns, always at your service.
