about me !!!!!!!
by Emma-louise Brown
Hello my name is Emma! I am a 19 year old girl with Asperges. I was diagnosed at the age of 16 and grew up thinking I was always different and was ment to be human! When I was diagnosed I found life alot easier knowing I was not alone! Throughout school I was always awkard and failed most things due to my lack in paticipation and dislexia. Since I am on medication I am happyer but I still don't want to interact with others anymore than usual! I am currently in my first relationship with my soon to be fiance! He is the same age as me and is in the royal australian navy ! He knows about my condition and although he gets frustrated (and somethings I do too)he is really good and patient with me. He has alot of techniques to deal with situations and is always looking to improve situations. Me and my partner live in a shared household with another couple and yes Asperges is a hard thing to get along with. My housemates understand but they still get anoyed that I don't reconise their emotions and when I hurt there feelings but I do have my partner to assist me in the situation! One thing I probebly have a problem with the most is saying things to people and not thinking about how it is going to affect them or how they might feel. I don't see this as something I must think of before I speak and am always getting myself in trouble for it. Also when people are trying to use sacarcasm in a conversation ! I can't pick it up and end up getting my feelings hurt or very angry at them. Yes I know of my problem but I am working towards the ways to live with asperges ! I have turned my life around ever sence I was diagnosed and wouldn't go back; my partner and me are happy! This is my success story and I hope there is others out there that have the positive outlook on their sydrome ! Click here to read or post comments. |
