hi im joey baumgart im 18(born 11/1/1991-)i live with a disorder called asperger syndrome(a form of autism)here is my story...

i was born on november 1 1991 in springfield, pennsylvaina. i soon moved to rose tree media in the high medow development as a child i was always different than the other kids. i got into alot of trouble, i wasn't a bad kid but a misunderstood one. some of the stuff i did was innapropriate for me to tell you about, but one thing i did was chase people around the playground. i one time threw a chair at a teacher because she was being sarcastic and i did not understand. in those days teachers werent taught about special needs kids so being their blind minded normal selves they did not realize that maby i was a bit different. untill i was about four years old. when i was four i was diagnosed with ADHD and an unknown mood disorder later to be known as aspergers.

childhood
i was always picked on as a kid. kids can be soo cruel. but luckily as i grew up i became more socialable. like now im one of the most popular kids in my school, but i still sit at the old nerd table talking about star trek and computers. im the class clown now. one of the best in the school. but lets rewind a little bit

after i was diagnosed. i had many different combonations of meds. i took riddlen as a small child,only four or five,i still have the side effects from it. i took addral witch led to an overdose witch ill talk about now.

my overdose
when i was about 8 my mom and i were in a hurry and she grabbed a bottle wirch said adderal 5 milligrams. i told her this wasn't it but she didn't know. i dont blame her or i it was an accedent. well i ended up taking them to shut her up. in the car on the way to school, i started falling asleep and my speech was slurred my mother then took me immediately to the hospital. they told her to let me sleep because they were going to force charcol down my nose to my stomache so that it would get rid of everything i had in my system. then i went to another hospital,crozer i believe, they were very nice they had a huge room with tons of toys but i didn't get to play with them untill later. but when i first went in there i had to pee but couldn't go,that was the charcol. that was rough. but i got over it. the whole family ended up coming to see me. that was cool.

growing up
growing up for me wasn't too hard. i had a mom a dad and an older brother keith. i also had a grandmother whom i called nanny who used to live with us she passed on in 2002 but ill get to that later. i can remember sitting on the back steps of my 3 bedroom rancher talking to my nanny for hours. when ever i had a problem with my mom and dad as all kids do i would talk to her. my aunt maureen and my other grandmother mom-mom (who is still alive) also had a hand in raising me but they were closer with keith,atleast i think so.

the death of my nanny
when my nanny died i felt like someone hit my life in the face with a sludge hammer. i was coming hamoe from school one day, it was a monday(oh how i hate mondays),and i had just had a pizza party and all kinds of fun stuff at school. it was february,20th,2002 i remember it just like i remember 9/11 and the first black president. things i just wont forget. my mom said "Joey, i need you to sit down."i said"Its nanny isn't it!?"(she had been sick for awhile)and she said"Yes"and i said "is she dead" and she said "yes" and then, right then i collapsed ,literally collapsed, out of pure sadness. i ran into my room and cryed untill i cryed my self to sleep 4 hours later. and yes to all you typical guys out there i do cry and im still more of a man than you.

being asexual
when i was about 12 or 13 i found that i was asexual witch means im not attracted to either sex. the reason ive always been closer to women is because of my nanny. i still cry when i think of her. but thats why i have a very strong femine side witch i enjoy because guys are retarded sometimes. things are weird when you are asexual. people seem abit confused when they hear that i am. why am i nicer to girls than guys because they are the only ones that understand me.

my handwriting
my handwriting has always been an issue my cursive is flawless but my print just flat-out sucks. i had O.T.(occupational therapy) for 8 years. to help me write better i think its part of the aspergers
