Traits of Females with Aspergers (words by Samantha Craft)
I did not make this video.
My Words Put to Music
Hello you, who longs to be loved and noticed
You know everything is okay? Right?
You know you are just experiencing emotions
Nothing else
You are not flawed
You are not wrong
You are perfect in your feelings
It’s okay
You don’t have to pretend anymore
It’s okay
Show all your colors
You are most beautiful that way
Share what you have found inside of you
This truth
That even in your frailty and fear, you are beauty
There is no shame
In being real
We all get scared
We all get worried
We all believe someone might steal something or someone
But they can’t
They are just borrowing
Just basking in the collective wisdom
Remember nothing in this world is yours
You know happiness is not found in possession
So today give what was never yours
To a world that is you
And let your words be put to music
~ Samantha Craft, August 2012
And I say my favorite daily mantra: How could life get any better than this!
Everyday Asperger's 
Perfect…I love you! Me. xxx {{{hugs}}} ❤ 🙂
Oh. You are fast! :))) Hugs. xoxoxo
Excellent, Sam. You know, what I noticed as the music played and the lists came and went – I have a lot of those traits. I am not Aspie, but I could better understand you and others when I realized that we all, probably, have several of those traits. You have more of them and, I imagine, to a greater degree. It’s much more difficult for you to function through some of your processes than it is for me. I had a hard time dealing with many of them; I can only imagine how it is (must have been) for you.
Hugs… 🙂 to my LBS,
Scott – BB
Thanks BB for your words.I appreciate the kindness. It is getting easier and easier for me. I am learning to truly understand myself, and when I meet other women like me, and I see how lovely inside they are, I can’t help but love myself more. Still, it can be very hard at times, so your words are taken to heart. 🙂 Have a good day. LS 🙂
Brilliant.
Thanks JD. I need to play catch up with blogs soon. Hope to be over to see you! Hope all is well and you’re still making us laugh. 🙂 Sam
I’m astounded, I’m admiring, I love the video clip… I stand in admiration… you are simply the best… that’s all I have to say.,….
Awe. Thanks so much. Way too kind, you are. Bet your wife loves it! 🙂 Have a wonderful day/night. ~ Sam 🙂
Each day I learn a little more about myself. Thanks to your endless quest for knowledge, for yourself and others you are changing your life, and ours in the most profound ways. Sharing your raw truth tells us we are not alone.. and there is hope.. regardless of our personal human condition. Love you and all you have done for us!! xxx K
Oh….thank you so much…it’s not always easy….and last night I had a hard time at it…but I cry tears of joy knowing all these lovely, lovely souls. Your words always amaze me…gifted with a powerful energy in everything you type….. Thank you again….sigh…needed this today. HUGS. 🙂 me
Thank you Sam. We know I’ve had my some say, ‘unfair’ share, but that’s their perspective, eh? Growing pains usually hurt, but they allow us to stand taller and reach ever closer to our dreams.. I can see the stars reflecting in your bright eyes. Keep the Kleenex (and TP) handy for the breakthroughs in life. And remember, you are LOVED!! xx
What a fantastic tribute, not only to you personally, but to the building of awareness of these ‘not always recognized’ traits of females with Aspergers. This video makes the education “user-friendly” and your words are always expressed so effectively. I could not be happier — your poem says it all… embrace it – it’s all perfect – as you are perfect just as you are dearest Sam … Hugs and Love… will be sharing this with many!! xxoo
I agree. 🙂 You picked my mind again. Ouch…stop poking in my brain!!! Hugs and love to you sea sis.
Hmmm… getting the word out can be helpful and acknowledging you is good but what if the images and music are not your cup of tea? Copyright is still that. Your words are YOUR words. Collaboration is one thing. Taking without asking in advance and saying thank you is something else entirely.
It’s okay. I’m good. 🙂
I share so many youtubes on my blog….and most are someone else’s song lyrics put to music or images….it’s all good.
And she credited me and the blog.
Hope to reach more people.
Hugs and will be catching up with blog reading probably tonight or tomorrow. 🙂
Excellent, the only word I could use for you and your posts. 🙂 Wonderful work, Sam!
Thank you Arindam. 🙂
This was a great post and video. I put a link to it on my website– hope that’s okay to do. New at this. You, more than anyone, has helped me understand traits in females so much better! Thank you. I was not diagnosed until 61.
Thank you for the kind comment. 🙂 Linking to my blog is fine. 🙂 And much appreciated. I just ask that no one copy and paste my words to their blog. Thanks. 🙂 Enjoy the blogging journey. I
need to pop over and visit your blog. 🙂 Sam
Interesting . . . my first thought is to agree with solodialogue. Were you consulted ahead of time? Did you have the opportunity to give your blessing—your permission?
Having said all that, I found the work quite beautiful. The video is pleasing to look at and listen to, and your words—the heart and soul of it—complete the picture.
This video is evidence that people are noticing you more and more each day; you are going places kid!
It’s okay. I understand your thoughts, but I’ve let this go. 🙂
I’m glad you like the video. A fellow aspie made the video. She has many others. If you watch her others, maybe you can see why I let it go.
Hugs,
Sam 🙂
I love this! The music made me tear up a little, though. xD
… Okay, maybe the background pictures did, too.
Either way, I loved it! c:
I am glad you loved it. Sorry you teared up. Hugs. I didn’t make the video, but was fine with it, and hope it reaches who it needs to reach. Hugs. 🙂
They were neutral tears for the most part, so it’s all good. c: And awesome!
