My Name is Macen

My name is Macen. I have Asperger's syndrome. My mom thinks that writing a blog will help me understand what I have. She's says it might even help others. I don't know. Some days I will blog, some days she will blog. I told her that if she lets me stay home from school, I could blog all the time. She said NO. My mom helps me type, but I am slowly getting better at it. Hopefully in a few months I can do this by myself.
I found out that I had Asperger's when I was 5. It was new back then, so we really didn't know what it meant. Some people thought that I was like "Rain Man" but I wasn't. We tried lots of things back then. Diet, Therapy, sports, but nothing really worked.I was given medicine to help me concentrate, but I didn't like it. It made me feel and act like a Zombie, and I hate zombies. My mom took me off it when I was in 2nd grade. I started to have more fun but I still didn't do well in school.
This year we moved to Yorktown, Virginia. My teacher likes to help me, but I have a hard time staying attention in school. My mom took me to a Doctor and he did a whole bunch of tests and told me what it meant to have Asperger's. It made me feel better to know that alot of kids have it. He also said that I have something called ADD. It just means that I need help to pay attention. We have tried lots of things, but nothing really worked. Yesterday we decided to try some new medication to help me in school. I don't have to take it all the time, just on school days. I took my first pill today. I didn't feel different, and my mom says that's good. I don't know if it helped me because school was still boring.
I don't know what else to say. I want to go play my video games..so bye for now.
