I have Aspergers Syndrome and my family doesn't understand me. I need some advice?
So here are the details. I'm 16 and I have Aspergers Syndrome. For those who don't know, this syndrome is very very rare. It is almost a form of autism. Not exactly autism, but it is part of the Autistic Spectrum. It's a milder form.
The main thing about this Syndrome is that I can't have a social life. The symptoms are: anxiety, depression, lack of social skills, lack of social communication and obsessive behavior. I have all these symptoms and many more. The point is that I feel extremely anxious when I need to interact with people, I have no social skills and I can be obsessed with certain activities which makes me exclude all important things from my life. All these are symptoms I can't control so I see no point in being blamed for them.
The problem is that because of this syndrome I've been withdrawing from my social life more and more. I hate going to school and my parents don't understand this. They think I'm just misbehaving and that gets on my nerves.
-please see details-
