In My Own Words. My Life with Asperger’s Syndrome

[@eppiechurcher5424]

Hi Roseanne, I am a 42 year old woman with recent Aspergers diagnosis. I really enjoyed this video. I hope you find a job soon that lets you play to your strengths.

how are you doing today?

[@melissademille4480]

This woman is telling the story of my life!

This is a wonderful testimonial. I have been recently diagnosed as well and I would like to say that there are excellent employment opportunities, such as printed translation, instant translation during events (pays wonderfully in Mexico), writing material for teaching purposes... even research. Big hugs.

I love how in this video the interviewer lets her talk about her experiences connecting to her Aspergers. It’s important for the viewer to connect those two so we can understand better. In many videos they don’t show real life experiences to connect it with Asperger behaviors. Just like people with Asperger has a hard time getting our social cues, we have a hard understanding what it is to have Aspergers. This video really help me understand more. Thank you!

this is me, i feel like everything i love or am good at requires social skills in order to fully prosper or find employment in and i dont have that

this is what happened to me...I suspected, then GP said it and I'm 60. My parents just thought and said I was a problem...and kicked me out at 15. Then It really got bad.

Thank you Roseanne, you have helped me more than I can tell you. I hope you have the job you deserve. I can't help thinking you should start your own business, you would be so successful; you have a special skills set. I wish you could find a way for you to benefit from them. Your levels or competancy and technical abilities are vast. Wishing you the very best. 🤗

How about translating written material? Say, technical translations. Manuals, for example.

Thanks for this video, indeed, "quirky" was the term I used before my son was diagnosed...

This is a great resource. Thank you for uploading.

Grandson has ADHD bad, and then his mum my daughter was diagnosed. Family assume I have it and that it runs through the family. There are reasons in my life why I have symptoms- and I have attempted [with some success] to mitigate these symptoms. Long story short- we all need to close ranks, in many different ways, and help to seek solutions.

very interesting interview

[@ZFern9390]

I am very curious if she suffers from high anxiety or depression. She doesn't come across like she does. She doesn't talk at all about sensory sensitivities. I wish this was a longer video.

Is it lack of jewelry or makeup to turn of neurotypicals? I was diagnosed with Asperger's too.

[@Diashi1267]

It's interesting because just from watching this conversation you wouldn't think there's anything abnormal about Roseanne. I guess the deficits are so subtle and come across in person rather than over a video
