I saw myself in the newspaper today...

No I have never done that, but reading what you wrote makes me wonder about myself, I spoke complex sentences early and read dby age 3.5 yrs. I've always felt socially and physically awkward. But I have never be told I had anything other then a high IQ. Blessings

hi dawnald what you described in your discussion rather relates to me as a kid, I was awkward as all get out, went roller skating and had scabs on my knees from falling. I walked early, talked early, and learned to read at age five.never went to kindergarten as they did not have such a thing in our small town.In grade school I always was tested as reading two grade levels ahead. I was skipped from the fifth grade to the seventh as I was always ahead of all my classmates. Also I have read a review of what they think Scorpio people are and everything they said about people born under the Scorpio sign fit me to a tee. It was interesting to read about myself there as though they had known me personally.

Just my obituary................































geez..I was JUSTkiddin.......................

It's amazing and nice.Anyway saw yourself on a newspaper can make you delight for several days,at least for me.I had appear on TV once,it's a tv program called "funny sunday".A nice memory,remind me to recall things happened those days.

hm, they were discussing asperger syndrome today on the radio here where i live and here in canada, it seems that they are changing the wording of the diagnoses. but i have had a staged picture of myself in the paper (the centre were i worked had advanced polls and the paper wanted a pic) and everytime i read about frugal living i think i could give THEM some ideas! lol

I have never read something in the newspaper and thought thats me, but since I suspected my son had autism, I have read up and researched it thoroughly and to this day I still think its me.

I wouldn't say I was severe as my son but I have many autistic traits. I am extremely socially awkward. At school I was very forward for my age, but lacked the concentration levels to succeed. There are more, I could read at a very young age and I was also early at speaking. But I too am clumsy.

The more I research the more I believe I am somewhere on the autistic spectrum. It is very possible as they say there are genetic links so maybe my son got his autism through me.

I can't say I've ever read something in the newspaper that was "me" - but several times I have read discussions here and have been amazed at the similarities. I have come to think the old saying that there is nothing new in life might have some truth.

It is surprising how many people here had childhoods with similarities to mine. I haven't come across anyone with a "Frank" in their lives. I'm convinced there couldn't be another one as evil as he, thankfully, but there are many comparisons with other abuses.

I possibly also fit in with those points on Aspergers. I certainly had no help at home, so it wasn't due to home education that I was always waaaaaay ahead of the rest at school. I am very socially clumsy but I've always ascribed that to my early years of solitude. I've lived 73 years without knowing so I guess I have no need now. I'll just keep going the way I am.

No I don't think so. I have read a lot of things in a newspaper and wished that it was me though I have learnt over the years to be socially charming in any circle but on the inside I am nervous. This does not show though as I can be good at small talk and socialising. But this was learned behaviour not 'me'. I think that I ws always a klutz but this was because of my lack of self confidence and self esteem.

Only when I have read a horoscope......and it says exactly what has happened or discribes my life exactly! I don't really believe in them but it's fun to read them and see how close they get.....I didn't know you had Asperger Syndrome.....

yes, it happened to me. i was a gov't employee and my boss is a councilor one time we had a project and of course they took picture of my boss and im in the background doing medical mission. i was so proud because im in the news paper what i did i cut it and put it in the album its a souvenir
