how do i tell her i may have AS?
Blackcat,
I told you I would let you know my parents response.After sending them an article about AS and two emails in the past month,they hadnt responded.I called them last night with the "excuse" of asking about their plans for Christmas but wanting a response about the article.
My mom didnt bring it up until I finally asked her.She didnt seem to want to talk about it.She said that I was intelligent but just didnt use it....her only other response was that any difficulty I might be having was because I wasnt "preying" enough or didnt have enough "faith"...end of conversation.This was the response I thought most likely but I was "crushed" anyway.I dont know why I still have a need for her to understand ME,but I do.It truely sucks.

I don't think you ever told us how this turned out. MAN, if even your TEACHERS were wondering if you had HFA, she should be MORE than willing to accept it. And AS DOES sound different, and is perhaps a bit nicer than HFA. Besides, your "symptoms" sound so profound that if I were your father, I would be RELIEVED at the diagnoses! shoot, I think you were the one that complained about headaches, etc...
You'll probably get over the stuttering, and find a way to reduce te noise, etc... And have to carry a stick to beat the boys off with.
I STILL haven't told my father.

Interesting fact!
The chances of a woman becoming pregnant on any particular day if BOTH were PERFECT and fertile, is only about 16%! YEP, that is IT! Only about 5 days each month. or 60 days a year! The ONLY reason there are so many different birthdays is that women have different cycles, and they can change. BTW early in the cycle you are more likely to get a boy. Later, you are more likely to get a girl. Once it changes though, you have about 28 days roughly before another one starts. The odds under the same circumstances if both are very careful with a good condom are about 3-7%! The pill can actually help to CAUSE pregnancy under the right circumstances!(for instance if you are low on the hormones it provides) The moral is that you can almost always get pregnant!
Oh, and blackcat,
Don't feel bad. I don't know if I was wanted, but I bet MOST weren't. At least they didn't abort us or put you up for adoption. At least they finally came around and took me OUT of the orphanage I ended up in!
