Aspies_Teen_Chat_comments = Hi, I am Isabelle. I am 16 and have a mild form of aspergers and I was diagnosed at age 3. I am interested in running XC and Track, science, and nutrition and healthy foods. In need of a friend. Also, I'm pretty sure my aspergers is a little more than just mild. I'm 16 and still have awful motor skills despite OT, and I do not have many friends, only a few from XC and am very bad at keeping a conversation with my step dad, as well as other people, I don't take jokes well, and can only look my mom in the eye. I am a triplet but my siblings do not have any developmental disorder so it is hard. My sister sat with me at lunch last year because I did not have anyone to sit with. How do I tell my mom that I think my aspergers is probably worse than mild? I am afraid she may not believe me, or just think I am acting out. I could really use some help. Thanks!
