I'm tired of you guys folding back! Let yourselves be known!

I'm tired of hearing all this talent go to waste. You people ..ALL PEOPLE have the ability to show there talents. Get your anti-socialself out there and do something you thought you could never do! I never used to write before and now I write books, manga, plays, poems, songs, etc.

Anyone can sing. Stage fright is what is blocking you from being an actor/singer. Why let it control you!? BREAK FREE! Get that thing in your mind that says "Well if I do this...." and "Well if this happens...." out of your mind! Who's with me? I don't think you have to be smart to sing or write a catchy song. DO IT! Not hard. Trust me. I don't think I am the only Aspie that can over come it.

Thank you for commenting. The struggle we have isn't caused by others... it is ourselves.

You reminded me that I saw a license plate yesterday that read "UR GFTD". I thought that was awesome! Someone meant that message for every single person that read it. Cool.

But singing in tune is a rarer gift. =)

But yes, try painting or turning cartwheels or roller dancing (but not in the middle of a busy street, I've seen that attempted and they were lucky the bus had emergency brakes), fight dragons; it might just be fun.

RE: I'm tired of you guys folding back! Let yourselves be known!

I used to write songs, but got intimidated by other musicians because I really did have more ambition than ability in that area.
I have, however, been exploring any other latent talents I may possess, trying to slow down my thoughts and convert them into something creative, such as stories. They are only for myself for now, but if ever I do make something that I feel has some merit to others, I'll try to share it. It really is an interesting challenge - trying to match the vague impressions and feelings in my head with words, one that I am far from mastering, but a satisfying one when I can tune out distractions.
You seem very creatively driven, Chase, and I really admire that. I think I know that kind of feeling, but it comes in phases for me and often turns rancid while I'm still halfway through the creating.

I know you mean well, but there is a bit of generalization in here! I'd never fold.


Every Aspie is a rockstar.

Chase, I deliver anything up to 40 mins of performance poetry, I can do you a stunning storytelling/acting rendition of the whole of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas.  I deliver drama and creative workshops to schools and community groups.  I draw pencil portraits, and sometimes sell them...  I sing for my own amusement, I even sometimes sing at work, even though I know people will think I'm a bit odd.  I don't sing on stage because I can't carry a tune, and because I'm as deeply phobic of it as I am of spiders...and see no particular benefit in tackling either.  Even though some...[no, right, you must have posted this before my response to another thread of yours, so I won't be rude yet]...suggests I should.

There is some stuff I can do, when its organized, I can paint, and make YouTube Videos... yet somehow I'm afraid of some of my own material...

RE: I'm tired of you guys folding back! Let yourselves be known!

Eek! Yeah I'm a rather talented imaginative writer. But when I write it seems to overwhelm the person it is intended for. I often use that method if I want to prove how much somebody means to me, rather than the plain method of just telling them. (which doesn't mean much nowadays). So I hold back because I unintentionally overwhelm.


"Philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday" - Ludwig Wittgenstein: April 26th (my birthday!) 1889-April 29th 1951 (supposedly HFA Austrian-British philosopher).
Your score: 47
0 - 10 = low 11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17) 23 - 31 = above average 32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35).

I agree with you with some of the things that you have said OP.  No one should allow themselves to be held back from something that they can and love to do.  

However, I am always held back by feeling afraid.  That I can not do it..I become very anxious and intimidated that over rules everything else.
