| Sadly, she passed away before I was healed enough !face her. I'm working on finishing my education. I'm on a break right now because I'm waiting to go to a center for the blind for more training. |

| The consensus is that science will prove there are autisms or that what we call autism are completely different conditions. That may not happen for a long time if it happens at all. In the meantime like it or not the Autism community is in this together. We need to stop language policing each other... |

| I'm still dealing with a lot of anger in my heart towards my mom because I begged her for therapy, but she didn't believe in it. I needed help really badly, but no one noticed because I was good at academics. |

| What I've seen of a lot of the posts I've seen are for autistic people to share their experiences. People should keep that in mind when they look at this stuff. |

| I've suspected it for several years, and now I've had the official diagnosis and have started taking meds. I'm still trying to process this. |

| I can relate. Change sucks, and I just want to do what I have to and then get on with life. Heck, life's already stressful enough without all that climbing the corporate ladder crap. |

| I got tripped up today by how are you, but in the opposite way. I thought she was saying the greeting version, but she actually wanted to know. One thing that I was recently told is that there's another version of this complicated question. Sometimes, if they care about you, they do want to know, bu... |

| Yeah it trips me up too. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I've asked my friends before when they've asked me that if it was the ND or NT version. I think of ND and NT as separate languages. |

| In regard to how I feel about NTs, when I first found out I was autistic, I went down the rabbithole of resenting them. I couldn't stay there for very long because I've been blessed to know some lovely ones. My Meemaw (another name for Grandma) was the most loving, sweet, empathic person I've ever k... |

| I do agree that there are positive features, but there are negative ones too. While I try to be positive, sometimes it's good to have a place where you can talk about the very real struggles that also come with autism. |

| I have plushies, and I see them as characters, similar to how they are in Toy Story. My favorite bear was named Corduroy. He was not the actual character, but I just named him after the Corduroy bear. He would repeat what you say when you pressed his paw. That bear was my best friend, and I'm still ... |

I like the funny ones, but my favorite are the creepier the better. I'm partial to radio PSAs but those aren't as common to see on YouTube unfor... |

The people at the school for the blind should have known better, though, especially that blasted guidance counselor who bullied me and straight ... |
