Personal Narrative: Asperger's Syndrome

Improved Essays
In 2001, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and I became an educational statistic. In other words, I was one child out of 150 that had to struggle through being delayed in their gross motor, fine motor, and speech because of the diagnostics. Routine work that I needed to accomplish, such as writing my name, was extremely difficult. Thanks to the encouragement of my parents, teachers, and therapists, I did not know how far I would come, and how much I would learn.
I was born on March 4th, 1998 in Buffalo, NY. After I had reached 18 months, I had lost my ability to walk and speak. My parents had me tested, and sure enough I became one more figure. It was extremely difficult to think even now that I was one in 150 children.

    People will always ask me what it is like to grow up with a brother with Autism, if it’s frustrating, difficult, or if it’s different. I always kind of laugh at the question because I don’t view John as a boy with Autism, I view him as my older brother. John is a very special person, and not just because he is Autistic. Something that John does is that he will always try and help others. I think he likes the feeling when he helps people because it makes him feel important.…

Seeing my mom as a perpetual victim of domestic abuse and feeling unable to intervene, coupled with this deep-rooted understanding that I was different, lead to intense self-loathing. My experience of being misunderstood and feeling helpless encourages me to pursue a degree in School Psychology so that I may help youth faced with similar obstacles find healthy ways…

    The person whom I had chosen to interview with is a woman who has three daughters diagnosed with autism. Her name is “Dana Reeds,” and her daughters (beginning with the oldest to the youngest) are named “Priscilla,” age twelve, “Tina,” age eleven, and “Leslie,” age eight.

Well according to Merriam-Webster, Asperger’s is “an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by impaired social interaction, by repetitive patterns of behavior and restricted interests, by normal language and cognitive development but poor conversational skills and difficulty with nonverbal communication, and often by above average performance in a narrow field against a general background of impaired functioning”.
