ASD stands for autistic spectrum disorder so Aspergers is a type of autism.

Aspergers is a disability but it's a hidden disability so it can be really hard for other people to remember that I've got it because it doesn't show when you look at me.

I do want people to understand about my Aspergers but I don't always want to talk about it. This is why I've got this web site so that people can find out more and you don't need to be embarrassed that you're asking me too many questions!

I have found it really difficult telling people about my Aspergers because it's not that long ago that I found out about it myself. It's not something I'm embarrassed or ashamed of - it's just another part of me like having brown eyes or curly hair.

If you look up Aspergers on Google you'll find a long list of the different ways it can affect people - not all of these things apply to me because everybody who has Aspergers is different.
