Question

    Until I was 13, I assumed I was just like everyone else. But one day I read a piece of paper in my dad’s briefcase that _______ everything. That’s when I saw the words: “Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome (自闭症).”

I screamed at my dad, “Tell me what it is!” He _______ that I have a mild form of brain disorders, which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasn’t sure exactly what he _______ , but it didn’t matter. I just wanted to try to _______ my shock and go back to the way things were before I knew.

But even though I wouldn’t _______ accept the fact, Asperger’s (Asperger syndrome) still destroyed my confidence and made me _______. I felt like an outcast(被抛弃者) —not just because Asperger’s made it hard for me to make friends, but because now I had this_______. I just wanted to be like everyone else. _______, at 16, I said to myself, “Enough! You can’t run and hide from it, girl. Just face it.”

It’s funny, the first time I thought something was _______ was not because of what I couldn’t do—it was because of what I could do. In the sixth grade, while other kids were

__________ with spelling, I was like a human spell-checker! I’ve also had a photographic memory, and what I call my “super powers”—extrasensory hearing and acute __________I can __________  phone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or

__________ hear one incorrect note in an entire symphony! And I can __________ pay attention to two things at once.

Don’t get me wrong. Asperger’s can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly

__________ in its cocoon (茧），waiting to fly.  It took years of work with a psychologist to get over the __________ of making friends.

I’m not going to let Asperger’s create __________ for me. That’ why I am happy to have found out about and faced my __________.  Asperger’s is a metaphor (象征) for life: We all have

__________, but the key is to be able to have the __________ to face what’s bad about them and still find what’s good.375
