Im writing this in hopes of advice on how this person can be helped

I am writing about a young boys history, although in a great sense this boy has much support and much help and a great mother / upbringing, i believe in my mind that every person has a darkside and a lightside, i request that after writing about this that people may give me advice on how to help this person

i am aware of a young boy who has shared my condition of aspergers syndrome, a socialising disorder which is a bit of a downgrade from autism, speaking from personal experience aspergers syndrome can make life seem alot worse than what it actually is... its a very confusing condition and like i have explained it can make life seem alot worse than what it is, this boy came into the world just like any of us, he has grown up however with a troubled mind... blame the condition for that - im going to refer to people with aspergers syndrome as " Us" and thouse without as "you" i dont mean to offend but in all generalisation " We are not the same"

While this boy was growing up he had both a father and a mother, the mother is the daugter of a saint and is a saint in her own way herself, the father was a drunken money spender who messed around the boy, promising to be there for him, when the parents split up the father went to live somewhere else and promised the boy on multiple occasions that he would be there for him to sleep there and see his father, the father often was never on time and canceled often, to go drinking or such, the boy also had a troubled schoolhood when he was mistaken for a hyper activity disorder known as ADHD, he was put on ritalin for the bulk of his young life and it affected him greatly, ritalin is cruel to be used on any living animal, imagine this: Image being unable to eat... imagine starving yourself because eating makes you sick, imagine being a complete zombie because the ritalin does that to you... Ritalin imo is a way of killing a childs personality and i believe that it is cruel ... A Child will always be running about and doing so and so, After all what do children do? Children play, children laugh and play with there friends, so sometimes there a little overactive... but is that any excuse to slap a sticker on them saying " Requires ritalin" the sticker might aswell be " We want you to be quiet"

Now tell me... doesnt ritalin in this sense sound rather in-humane? especially with an un-willing taker, although i have not researched ritalin so i do not know its full implications... but as i have said it does not look very bright.

The boy left his junior school life fine... then came a fateful day... the boy didnt care about anything except what was right.. what was kind and what made others around him happy, did a boy like this seem to have any problems? well i can tell you... the problems started when the boy was told something:
You have aspergers syndrome, from there on the boys life went downhill social wise... he never had problems with it ( in his own mind) untill people started saying he did.. from there on the problems schoolwise and social wise got worse.. like most kids who get bullied will tell you that being bullied is terrible... now imagine it for someone with aspergers syndrome... you know your different, your treated different... they never give you a chance to do things for yourself and barely anyone takes time to understand you, this person was bullied for all his comprehensive years - the verbal abuse was terrible, the beatings where terrible but most of all... the fact that people just didnt do enough to stop it, kids can be cruel... but when will people learn that sometimes an aggresive stance must be taken to prevent bullying? a telling off wont stop the most... horrid of kids from throwing abuse just for the fun.

so lets see what we got so far:

Ritalin -
Aspergers syndrome-
Being told he is different and treated different -
bullying-
beatings in school-

Although you might be thinking... this isnt much... but to a child or person with aspergers syndrome - this can be much worse than it seems in a mental way, it can ruin the entire life of someone with Aspergers syndrome, the child is know in his last year and nearing the end of his living hell, but im afraid of what it has brewed.. This child believes he is falling towards his darker side.

people tell me i tend to speak aload of crap... but i promise you this is from my soul and my heart.

I am luke davies-john, i am the lost child, this is a brief story about me and i fear that my darker side is destroyer the good i know i posses and i beg of you to help me in anyway you can,

My mind might be different, my way of thinking might be too, but there is something i believe i posses which alot of people on this earth do not...

A soul.

Thank you for reading, All opinions and advice are welcome.

Bless you all

Luke

"Something Great"
Work towards it. I have no doubts about you my friend. In my mind, you are already something great.

Definitely a heart-touching story that I can very much relate to. My older brother has Aspergers, and everyday I see what you are talking about. He has 0 friends. People tell him hes gross, weird, freakish. He tries to act as 'normal' as possible, but his disability just prevents the possibility. In addition, he has OCD. He has an obsession with picking at his skin, so you can only imagine that these two do not go hand-in-hand.

There was a point in time where my brother was nearly suicidal, and tried to run away. But do not fear that such things will happen to you, because you have KR, a home and a second family that is always looking out for one another.

Don't give into the dark side (no Star Wars pun intended), I know you can fight it. Anybody with enough courage and heart to speak out about their feelings like that is definitely strong enough to fight off the darkness within them. Just be positive ,and enjoy the oppritunities before you.

We're always here for you, bud.

HEY! Why do suicide when you can rob a bank? Do something crazy! ...and go to jail, would be way better than suicide. NO sins! Such as killing people. Stealing is allowed since in ALL TERMS WITH THE UNIVERSE: It does not. Matter. (my version)

Im looking forward to the apocalypse! (Would you actually believe that? Freedom!)
