Keith just sits there for what seems like an eternity to him, playing the events of that night in his head. His heart just sinks believing that he has lost Jackie forever and that she wants nothing more to do with him. "God dammit Keith, why did you have to explode on her?" He asks himself. "Why couldn't you keep your cool and just calmly explain that you have Asperger's Syndrome? Way to fucking mess up another good thing." The anger he has for himself just takes over and he starts crying hard. Then he screams out in frustration and sobs after he is done screaming.
After about twenty minutes he is able to compose himself enough to head towards his bedroom and lay on his bed. Exhausted, Keith falls into a saddened sleep wishing that he wasn't cursed with Asperger's Syndrome.

Clouds on the horizon?
Are there clouds on the horizon?
Jackie's bad thinking about what an Asperger's Syndrome is or about any mental illness. What happens to that thought? Should all persons with a mental handicap be detained in ghettos? What kind of society is this?
No one is free from an outburst of anger, and not by that we put them in jail or mental institution. People should learn things before making hasty assumptions. I have worked with children and young people with Dawn syndrome and they are wonderful people, but if you push them beyond their limits, or they go into depression or anger, but whose fault would it be? Always from the person who has pushed!
5 * for you and waiting for things to be clarified in the next chapter.
I apologize for my English (yet and forever), isn't my native language.more...
The situation depicted is quite vivid.
His blowing up is natural enough. The fact that he walks away from her rather than toward is the way to protect her. Perhaps I have the same Syndrome. I always had a tendency to blow up when someone pressed me hard. And I have the same breakfast almost every day! He knows he has it but what about all the people who are undiagnosed?more...
@Sampkyang - no, blowing up at a comment is not Asberger's
Respectfully, I would suggest that you do a little bit of research before you post
Unless you were being hyper-ironic...!!
Blowing up at a comment?
That is aspergers syndrome??? WELL then we all have fucking aspgers syndrome. Lame writer...
I've enjoyed all previous comments on the chapters, but I had to delete two because the person out it on all caps and didn't seem to comprehend that before chapter 3 I didn't have an editor. Yes a lot of the mistakes were found easily but don't need to try to tear someone down.
For everyone that stuck with the story so far, I thank you. This is a learning experience for me and I'm glad so many of you are enjoying the story so far.
For those waiting, chapter 5 will be up soon and chapter 6 has gone to my editor for editing.more...
