Xilef's Introduction

[xilef]

Hello I am Xilef I have recently been told I have asperges, ever since I was told I have been noticing the signs more and more and braved onto this forum.

I have already signed up to 50+ forums, it'll be hard to keep track of this one too but I will try.

 

I have my own website, I like computers loads, been using a Mac since I was born and a Commodor64 had been in my family before that up to when I was 6 I think. When I first saw a microsoft PC I thought it was so cool that it had two mouse buttons, only to be disapointed by Windows lack of power and that computer grinded to a hault. Now have 3 PCs, 1 XP machine, 1 Vista machine, 1 Mandriva Linux 2008 free machine, I also have a MacG3, about 4th hand O_o The shell of G3s are worth a lot of money so I might build a super computer into the shell when I am older. My brother uses iBooks and now Mac Books, I have noticed how the intel chip has lowered the power and raised the risk of crashing on a Mac. Power Macs are much better, but compatibility is horrible.

 

I usually disagree with common interests if you get what I mean, when I was younger everyone loved Pokemon, but I thought it was way too unrealistic, it was very childish, and the Pokemon storylines in the cartoons were ridiculous. I actually prefer Digimon, which before anyone says it, came out before Pokemon did. Everyone said that Pokemon came out first, but they are wrong, Digimon came out before Pokemon with the basic Digimon Pet concept, which was a form of Tamagotchi for boys, it was released in 1997 around the world as the complete Digimon Pet.

 

I also think Sonic is better than Mario, everyone buys Mario games, actually I have more Mario games than Sonic games myself, but the character Sonic in comparison to Mario is much stronger and definately faster and cooler. What is so cool about an Italian plummer!??!?

 

I get annoyed when people are ignorant about technology when they use it. When someone uses an iPod I get annoyed when they say they don't care about how it works, but if you don't know how it works then I think you shouldn't be using it for safety reasons when in the future robots are invented but people don't know how they work so they let them destroy the world.

 

I also get annoyed when people say PCs are better than Macs, they may have their points and arguments but they are always focusing on the surface of the computer, the way it is made underneath and the history behind the OS and the CPU defines what the computer has now become so I think that Macs are much better than PCs because they marketted the GUI first and aimed their target audience at the common person, in the 80s Macs were for houses and other computers were for technicians and the lot. Mac dominated the computer market until Windows95 was released, 95 I think copied the GUI of a Mac but the law costs brought Apple down so they couldn't fight their case anymore. 95 had MS office so lots of people bought it and now everyone thinks PCs are better but I don't think so.

Before anyone says I am being biased; I use PCs a lot more than Macs, if you add up every minute I've spent on a computer, PC will have 75% of the time.

 

Girls say I am sweet and fair, boys say I am cool. I always compliment girls for any reason and it makes them be nice to me which I like because girls hold a better conversation than boys who always talk about football then start punching each other which I don't like because I don't do fighting.

In the school I was in before the one I am at now everyone called me a freak and bullied me for no reason, now I know I have asperges I feel I know why, it wasn't my fault and they were being prejudice to me because I can't help being asperges. I don't get bullied at the school I am at now, I learnt how to not let them pick on me.

 

Before I was told i was asperges I was dyspraxic (When I told someone because they asked what was wrong with my they said "What is that?" and the boy next to them said "It's people who can't spell dyslexic" and I laughed) and when I got in trouble at school last year for taking advantage of an abandoned hard drive and installing Tactical Ops and other games onto it the deputy head teacher took me into her office and phoned my mother, she said infront of me to my mother: "I have noticed that your son acts strangely, is there something wrong with him?" I was very offended that she said this infront of me because I have been trying to overcome dyspraxia and I do not use it as an excuse for anything I do. The deputy head, who was very angry with me and shouting at me and being unfair to me, suddenly went quiet when she heard from my mother that I was dyspraxic, in a fit of regret for being so cruel to me a few minutes before she lowered her tone to something more patronising and asking if I am okay and if life is fine for me. She left my school now and that is good. Imagine what she would have said if we knew I was asperges then and my mother told her that over the phone, I think she would have got me chocolate, said sorry for causing me trouble and let me go on with my day as normal!

 

 

I am very sorry for my life essay, I just get carried away, if you read any of that and saw anything we share an interest in, then please say! If you disagree with anything I typed above then...Keep quiet about it! Hehe, just kidding. Everyone is allowed an opinion.

I think I will keep this one high in my list of websites to visit daily. Everytime I come home from school I go through checking all the websites I know in a particular order

 

What I would like to do most with my time on this forum is to help others understand.

Hi Xilef and a very warm welcome to the forum. That's kind of you to offer your help to others in understanding aspergers, I for one quite often ask for help from a aspergers perspective to help me understand my 13 yr old son was only dx'd last year.

and oh yes he's was also into to Digimon but also Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh

Grr Yu-gi-oh.

I found out very recently and i only believed it after reading books and seeing that I am just like the described characters and after going on other websites. I was in denial for a few weeks with "I have dyspraxia, not asperges!" and now i found out you can have both!

I felt very sad when i learnt that asperges children should be getting help throughout education and i had to struggle on with dyspraxia (Even dyspraxia children need help in education, although the priority in comparison with asperges is lower) and I didn't get help with my dyspraxia because my mother taught me to put up with it and over come my issues so my schools believed that it was an issue that didnt effect me, although it did greatly effect me behind my smiling face (A put on smile that is!).
