Asperger Syndrome Commonly Misinterpreted

March 12, 2008 - PRLog -- GENOA -- Michelle Fattig-Smith grew up “pretending to be normal.”

She was a cheerleader in high school and always had a smile on her face. Her outward appearance was her mask, something she said girls, especially those like her, are good at creating.

In reality, she was lonely and full of self-doubt. She believed she was stupid, though her grades were high. When she was younger she couldn’t understand why no one wanted to be her friend.
