Sometimes, having Asperger's is obviously hard. You can see someone cover their ears in response to a loud noise, and it's plain that being near that noise is very uncomfortable or even painful for them. Sometimes, you see nothing. For most people with Asperger's, daily events can be very difficult. People with Asperger's must sometimes do everything they can to function normally. Just the daily routine of going to school or work even without any unexpectedly stressful events can leave us exhausted. I end up going to bed earlier than most of my classmates because daily life is just too tiring to stay up later.
We spend a huge amount of energy trying to understand other people and remember all the social rules we are expected to abide by.
I'm told that I do nothing all day, but I often come home feeling like I just fought a battle. Sometimes I get a bit upset when I put a lot of effort into functioning normally, accomplish bare minimum, and get accused of laziness. I'm doing all I can most days.
