| To ever think that their is a cure for Autism has never crossed my mind, to contemplate such notion is hard for me to comprehend. I am me and I dislike many many things about myself and the way I am , but that is irelevant as I am me, and with one life, it is what it is. to cure another way of being... |

I have been consciously forcing myself to do NT things like eye contact for so long that at times it seems almost natural. At times I wonder if what I am doing is the real me or the coping/acting me.
