Somewhere on the spectrum, as are many members of my family. Shame that my experiences with "professionals" have been, for the most part, nothing short of a continual war with its share of dangerous medical side-effects. I'm married and a mother of three, twin infants amongst my offspring, and that automatically means that I can't possibly be on the spectrum in the eyes of some. Also, I tend to get compared to family members, two brother in particular; that's a long story, but the gist of it is that I'm basically told, "You seem much more 'normal' than they are, so why do you want any type of help?"
But I've got other folks on my side, or at least I think I do. There are people willing to help. I have horrible social perception and can't say for certain who is on my side in most any matter, yet certain people are safe guesses.
Liftin' my glass to another year of stumbling through life.
