That makes me sad because this view is damaging. Even though my parents always were very supportive of me, I still grew up with thi... |

| My ASD puts me on the part of the spectrum formally known as Aspergers. I know in my mind what I want to say and how I want to say it. I usually make mess of this and I get really nervous.
