I have Aspergers
.
Have you watched Mary and Max? It's an animated film. I watched it and basically ended up in a corner frozen, freaking out. It was extremely confronting...to be watching that. My mum said it was a great movie and she loved it. So I watched. I ended up bawling like a fucking baby at the ending and the whole thing had me feeling like nails on a chalkboard in fight or flight mode...
It was the first time I was truly confronted with "another aspie". I completely understood him even if I don't react the same way I feel like that inside....and seeing him lose control was like seeing myself lose control, like my ultimate fears coming to life before me.
I have watched it since and enjoyed it but that first time was absolutely awful for me, it took me completely by surprise and off-guard. Still though, if I see an aspie having a meltdown I freak out a little. It terrifies me more than I could ever tell you. I can't describe how it actually feels to have a meltdown but trust me when I say it is an absolutely awful feeling.
Anyway feel free to ask me anything about it, I'm awesome with questions
