I am Aspergic

Finally

Finally

Well it looks likes you've reached the end of this book! It seems you have enjoyed it to have come this far, and hopefully you'll have learn a whole bunch about the condition I have, and sometimes how to difficult it can be. But before you close the book, I have to give a few thank you messages for the help I have had along the way for writing this book. Firstly though, I think it's fair I should give you some background information on the book itself

I started writing this in Majorca, 2012 I believe, and it is now 2014. I had a huge writer's block in between, where I couldn't think of anything to write about and it had no time to write it. Now I am in the summer holidays, however, I have more time to work on my ideas, and develop my points. The reason I wanted to start writing this book is to give some information to people who don't understand the condition. It gave me a way to express my opinions, and how I feel, as can be seen in the diary chapter. It is my highest hope that people will finish reading this with a much greater insight to how some of the thousand, or millions rather, of us think, and learn make us tick. I think I owe it to people in the medical field, particular psychologists, for finally discovering this condition, as pre-discovered, people with asperger syndrome were probably considered weird or stupid. It was found actually quite late, so I suppose I'm kind of lucky I was born on the other side of the seventies.  Otherwise, I would have just been considered weird or stupid.

Anyway, I will now move onto my thank you messages.

Thanks to you the most to Sarah, my aunt, who gave me the confidence to start writing this book, and gave me ways in which I could present my ideas in a logical way. Sarah started writing her own books, on which she was to help those with dyslexia, win her son having the condition. She began to write a book about her troubles with OCD too, as she had suffered it much worse than me, tormented for years. I really owe it to Sarah for giving me the inspiration and direction to write this, and I probably couldn't have done it without her guidance.

Thanks to mum and dad who proof read my book with me, in order for it to appeal the most to the 'muggles', or the people without Asperger's. They helped me to unlock the full potential to which I could write, and gave my ideas when I had none. I think mum was the most helpful (sorry dad) because my mum has an alarmingly fast reading speed, and can quickly proof read a book, whereas my dad takes a while to process things and it will take him half an hour to read ten pages. Still dad was a good help though, who gave me some ideas.

Thank you learning support in school for making my life a lot easier, and goodness knows where I would have ended up without them. Probably in a lot of trouble from misinterpretations and such. So it's always good that I had something to fall back on, and I wasn't always alone. I think it's also important to mention that I am probably one of the hardest things they have had to look after, and they have devoted countless hours to assist me when I need it.

Thanks also to my friends who have had to guide me in my moments, like when I start having those 'string opinion moments' in public, and thanks for accepting who I am even if I have Asperger's. I always have them if I have a problem in school to, and I suppose that's kind of lucky, because a true friend listens to your problems and helps.

So there you have it. Here's the time where the book will probably sit on the table, or if you're for some reason on an e-reader, you'll close the book.

Thanks and goodbye!

Jack Hay
