I am almost 13 years old and I have Asperger's. I started this blog as a goal setting project for school. The purpose of this blog is to let the world know that I view my Asperger's differently than other people that see me. There are many of us on the autistic spectrum who are really cool. Did you know that the experts are now saying for every 1 boy out of 100 one is on the autistic spectrum. So chances are there is at least one kid in your school that has autism or Asperger’s.
I was diagnosed at the age of 9 with Asperger’s. I am really no different than any other kid in my middle school. Over the next few weeks I will be doing video blogs that show this. Although you might think I am different - deep inside I am just like you - but have different ways of expressing it.
My first video blog was going for my lab work. I have to have blood drawn every 3 months due to the medications I am on. I thought it would be great to have others see how easy it is and guess what - it doesn't hurt. Take a look at it now in my next blog! Hope to see you back here. Don't forget to add me to your RSS feed as I will be updating quite regularly.

Hey, it's Miss Barr!! This is a great site, I hope you're having fun in school. Maybe I'll see you next summer!! =)
Great Blog Matt!! I'll keep checking in!! Happy New Year!
I'm really learning a lot from your blog Matt! Thanks for all the great info! I'm Miss Karen, I work with your mom. She speaks so highly of you and is so very proud of all you have accomplished. Keep up the good work!
Hey Matt, great to hear you are willing to talk about Aspergers. Many young individuals like yourself are not willing to discuss this out in the open as some youngsters will make fun of you. But I am glad to hear you are willing and I pray that with our Medical Breakthroughs and our superior technology, maybe one day we will have a cure for Aspergers. Your are in my prayers, God Bless and Take Care.
Hi Matt
Just read your latest blog entry about dealing with anger. I can't wait for my son to read it tonight when he comes home from school. He is 8 and we live in the UK - in Wales. This will mean so much to him. Thank you for all your hard work!
Great job!! You can really help a lot of kids here! My son is 6 and was just diagnosed. He thinks it's really cool that you are just like him. Thank you sweet boy for making this a little easier on him.
