There are one's that are double sided though.
Like my stubbornness, independence, pride and arrogance are good AND bad.

It wasn't like this when I was a kid though, oh no. I was patronized and confused. I didn't understand why I thought the way i thought and I was extremely introverted and guarded. Pegged as possible ADD when I most obviously am not and given a bunch of "possible mood disorder/aniety" problems because I was contantly having sensory overloads and frustrated that I didn't understand/they didn't understand so I was often angry and/or upset and couldn't figure out why.
Been this way for a long while till about a good month ago and I'm glad for it.
Retracing my history its kind of funny none of the medications worked. Oh my dear lord whatever might that mean? It astounds me how much we've learned about HFA/AS in just two years. I understand now why they didn't see what I now see with the updated and most recent research on AS as OBVIOUS TRAITS. Than again - I wouldn't let people in either.
