For me in the beginning was hard, because people didn’t know how to deal with my weirdness. Until it came out that I had Asperger’s people though I was strange.

Life may be difficult, and there will be plenty of stress. But never give up. If you go away to college, and in the beginning things may seem new and different. Try to look at things from different perspectives. Think to yourself “I can do this” and you will be amazed on what you can accomplish. Remember never to think of yourself as a failure, if you bail out. My mother always told all of us “Nothing is written in…
