A couple of weeks ago, someone somewhere googled “I Wish I Didn’t Have Aspergers”. The phrase popped up in a blogging dashboard and struck the blogger as being particularly sad. She wished she could have answered.
We don’t know who it was. We don’t know where he/she lives. We have no idea if he/she found what he/she was looking for in that search.
Thank you for reblogging this marvelous article, I asked them two questions or rather I told them two stories ( true stories) that affected me I hope that is an okay thing to have done. ? XX
I’m sure it is
I spent several hours yesterday, writing and editting an article about being autistic as a child (the difficulties) and about why I’ve grown up to like being autistic. It’s set to hit my page at 10am on 30th and I hope that it helps someone out there not to feel as lonely and “different” as I once did.
Thanks for sharing this! I read an interesting interview with Temple Grandin on the recent rise in Autism cases in the United States. Here’s a link in case you’re curious: http://www.salon.com/2012/04/24/grandin_on_the_autism_surge/?source=newsletter
Thanks Marc! Being a Brit I know very little about Temple Grandin, but to see a fellow autist’s point of view is always interesting.
