I met my Boyfriend through Latinamericancupid.com. I don’t remember when I join that site or why I did it, what I do remember is feeling ready for a relationship.

Since I have the Asperger Syndrome I don’t usually feel the need to socialites with people… unless I know they want to get to know me.

He sent me a message at the end of November 2008, but during that time I was quite busy; I was looking for a job and it was not until the beginning of December I answered him. After the second message I got from him, we started emailing each other everyday. One thing that got my attention was his quick answers to my emails! I liked that

We met in person on my birthday, it was my idea to meet a week before he was leaving to Denmark for a 2 weeks holidays. I needed to know if that was for real, and I needed it to know, right away (I have NO patiences at all).

The first date was nice, we had dinner and we talked, but my sister had a computer situation and my help was needed by her. We agreed to see each other on Sunday for the Christmas parade.

During the Christmas Parade, I felt, it was nice to talk to him. It was very nice; the conversation we had that day were just the type of  conversations I love to have.

I knew I wanted to keep seen him.

After three days we had our first kiss…

Now, after 13 months, I look back and smile. I would have never guessed I was going to meet the man of my dreams through the internet.

finally I know what is going on with me. After 2 years an half,  I got and answer. I have been diagnosed with asperger’s syndrome.

Symptoms during childhood

Parents often first notice the symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome when their child starts preschool and begins to interact with other children. Children with Asperger’s syndrome may:

• Not pick up on social cues and may lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others’ body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
• Dislike any changes in routines.
• Appear to lack empathy.
• Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. Thus, your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. Likewise, his or her speech may be flat and difficult to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.
• Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the word “beckon” instead of “call” or the word “return” instead of “come back.”
• Avoid eye contact or stare at others.
• Have unusual facial expressions or postures.
• Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about. Many children with Asperger’s syndrome are overly interested in parts of a whole or in unusual activities, such as designing houses, drawing highly detailed scenes, or studying astronomy. They may show an unusual interest in certain topics such as snakes, names of stars, or dinosaurs.²
