I would like some topics that you want me to talk about related to Asperger's or my thoughts on anything you would like to know, either about myself or the way I think/perceive the world. The ball is in your court.
I am mostly that way, too. Its not that he is not happy so don't worry about that. He may be smiling when you're not looking. I usually don't smile in any of my photos. The most you can get out of me is a little smirk. If you make us laugh, then a smile is inevitable. The thing is that smiling to me, and probably your brother, just doesn't feel right or natural. It feels odd, almost foreign. In terms of range of emotion people with AS tend to express either happy, or angry and not a whole lot in between. I'm sure you realize that it is difficult to read a blank face sometimes. On the other side, we find it hard to read a face that is capable of so more expressions that we have to try to interpret just to understand.
Hello, my name is "Trinity" and I'm 31 years old. I am on the autism spectrum as someone with Asperger's Syndrome often referred to as 'Autism light'. I find that interesting because normally you would just perceive me as someone who is a little 'out there', so to speak. I assure that I'm a little different than you, while remarkably the same. There are some things I do that you will not understand, and that is fine. If someone with ASD directed you towards this blog than you should realize they want to let you know what they are feeling. They may not want to tell you these things out of embarrassment or any other number of reasons. I am writing a book about my varied experiences and I do not take that task lightly. I have an edge over most people with ASD. On this blog you are free to ask me anything you like, ANYTHING.
Currently, I am a professional goldsmith and gold buyer working out of a private workshop.
My 19 year old brother has aspergers and never smiles im just wondoring if his having aspergers has anything to do with it
