Re: Different NOT broken
"People with Asperger's (or even just Introverts) are not wrong or broken because we don't like socialising, etc.. We're just different. I don't want someone to try and "fix" me by making me more socialble. I'm happy as I am."
It's those last five words that I find is the problem. It's the same for me - I'm happy as I am - but when I'm sat quietly in a corner minding my own business, other people think that means I'm not happy, and feel they need to do something about it. Which has the opposite effect.
