What in the World is An Aspie?

So what exactly is an Aspie? This is the definition according to the  Urban Dictonary.  "An Aspie is one who has Asperger's Syndrome, which is believed to be part of the autism spectrum. Aspies, while being quite gifted verbally, have social, emotional, and sensory integration difficulties, among others. Aspie is an affectionate term, and is not meant as a put down."

My name is April and I am a 40 year Old Aspie. I live in a small town in Louisiana and no I would not consider myself a redneck and I do not have any brothers or family members called Bubba. Though sometimes i ponder on that. I don't have tons of beer and sit in my soiled underwear either. Do people actually do that?

Anyway, I am just a simple southern woman with problems in social and sometimes mental situations. I can be obsessive in things I love to do. For instance, PC Gaming is my demise. I love music and most of all I obsess about sharing my experience with God and my walk with Christ. I am what i call a true christian. I do not believe in the practice of religion or follow it.

 I have found that the majority of my life being raised in the church both Southern Baptist and Catholic i was not accepted. The one place where i should of been loved and supported, It was the one place I wanted to run from. I was made fun of because of how I looked, talked and most of all based on my social status. I was from a poor family. My parents were divorced at 12 and throughout my life i was abused not only mentally but physically.

For awhile, I gave up, I had somewhat faith in God, But I lost faith in people. I lost faith In humanity. I always desired to be accepted and loved. As i went through my life, I found out that not so long ago, everything I went through was for a purpose, to teach me, to learn and to grow in Christ. I can tell you right now that I totally do not understand God's purpose and you know what? It's Ok!

Slowly God is leading me and showing me that there is something greater in this life beyond what i want and need. It is ultimately to serve him, to lead others, and most of all to show other people who are broken, lost and alone, that they are not!

 YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Psalm 34:18

The Voice (VOICE)

¹⁸ When someone is hurting or brokenhearted, the Eternal moves in close
    and revives him in his pain.

As I sit here in my randomness,  I want to encourage you and that there are millions of us Aspies who have shown the world. We are assets, We are special, unique and we are In fact... very much loved!!


God Bless
