People frequently struggle to understand my asperger's and how it effects me. The thing is they only see me in the situations I'm happy in such as riding or talking about nutrition. They don't see me struggling socially, the confusion I suffer when people question me about things, my inability to understand other peoples need for interaction with others.
This video of Clay Marzo pretty much sums up my life and how I'm only truly at ease on a bike. Even that can cause stress when people expect too much of me, the sponsors I keep to this day allow me to ride and don't add any pressure. I pick the clothes I wear, I pick where and for whom I ride!!
I have aspergers, that doesn't mean I have anything wrong with me, it just means I'm different. I'll shun social contact and would rather be out on my bike or reading about health. Don't feel sorry for me though, my hyper-focus has allowed me to become immersed in my favorite subjects and become pretty good at them.
