If I would have had access to the information that is out on autism and aspersgers I would not have eventually given up being as social like I did years ago. I would've been armed with in... |

| I've fought and "talked back" to my mother since around age 4. I never had any "personality" changes when I was a teenager. I've just been sassy and overopinionated my whole life. It actually can be a good thing if your children turn out the way I grew up. Since I have always been ultra-independent... |

| I think it gets to me more because neither dh or myself were allowed such behavior while growing up. We weren't like that till our hormonal teens. She's been wound tight with being sick this winter and having a note home from a teacher that stated she lied, because she wanted what her seatmate was b... |

| [quote="OddDuckNash99room. We Aspies cannot control how we react. Our emotions are intense and instantaneous. My mother often says that it's like I have a "switch" that makes me go from even-keeled to meltdown in seconds, and it really does feel like that inside. There's no warning.[/quote] No doubt... |
