Hi, I have been visiting this site for a long time and finally got the nerve(?) to join. Aperger's runs in my family. I am grateful to find a community of people who can relate. Personally I don't believe Asperger's itself to be a disorder, but it becomes a disorder when some of the traits become issues that cause pain for one's self and others. The pain has been a part of my life since I can remember. My story is unique enough that I am afraid to tell it because if one of my family members is on here and reads it they will know it's me, so that's frustrating, I guess I can say though that my father has it, my adult son (only child) has it and was misdiagnosed with ODD, and my exhusband has it, the one who was raising my son with me... I have it too but not officially diagnosed which is fine with me, I am on the border of diagnosable (also have ptsd so it kind of muddles the whole thing) As far as diagnoses go, my opinion is that they are good so one can understand what one is dealing with, but they can be not good when they are used as labels and boxes; I guess that would be "misused". I don't really know what else to say here except hi, and I am grateful to be here.
