8．Until I was 13，I assumed I was just like everyone else．But one day I read a piece of paper in my dad's briefcase that （51）Beverything．That's when I saw the words："Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome．"
I screamed at my dad，"Tell me what it is!"He （52）Athat I have a mild form of brain disorders，which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people．I wasn't sure exactly what he （53）A，but it didn't matter．I just wanted to try to （54）Dmy shock and go back to the way things were before I knew．
But even though I wouldn't （55）Backnowledge the news，Asperger's still destroyed my confidence and made me （56）Cand isolated．I felt like an outcast（被抛弃者）──not just because Asperger's made it hard for me to make friends，but because now I had this （57）C．I just wanted to be like everyone else．（58）D，at 16，I said to myself，"Enough!You can't run and hide from it，girl．Just face it．"
It's funny，the first time I thought something was （59）A was not because of what I couldn't do──it was because of what I could do．In the sixth grade，while other kids were （60）Cwith spelling，I was like a human spell-checker!I've also had a photographic memory，and （61）BI call my"super powers"──extrasensory hearing and acute awareness：I can （62）Dphone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or （63）A hear one sour note in an entire symphony!And I can （64）B pay attention to two things at once．
Don't get me wrong．Asperger's can be very confusing．For years I felt like a butterfly （65）Din its cocoon（茧），waiting to emerge．It took years of work with a psychologist to （66）A the difficulty of making friends．
I'm not going to let Asperger's create（67）Bfor me．That'why I am happy to have found out about and faced my（68）C．Asperger's is a metaphor（象征）for life：We all have（69）C，but the key is to be able to have the（70）Bto face what's bad about them and still find what's good．
