So tell me, how can anyone be proud of being autistic? Because I would cure it if given the opportunity. I'm proud because I was able to overcome a lot of that through rigorous self-analysis and improvement. Not to mention that many of the greatest minds in history would be considered to have ASD b...

I've had a lot of people ask me where I am from. Sometimes they think I have some kind of accent. People often seem surprised when I tell them I'm 8th generation Australian.

Thank you all for such generous replies. I must admit, at times it has been sheer agony. I often look back and think, I can't remember the last time I wasn't consumed on a daily basis by stress and anxiety. I think I learned to push through it in order to get things done.

I have a fear that my daughter wont like me when she gets older. I have always been pretty opposed to the status quo and the direction of society.
