| Wow, I don't know how it would have affected me socially - I was a complete "nobody" amongst my peers at school. One of my front teeth overlaps the other, and I really wanted braces (thinking maybe my teeth were the cause of my unpopularity). However, the dentist said it would cost $2000, which in 2... |

| Very interesting that this could be an AS characteristic! My mother and her siblings were taught by their father that they should not speak with the regional accent, so as not to be thought of as lower-class. So all my grandfather's children grew up with the neutral, generic non-accent, the same as... |

| Campin_Cat, that's a really insightful answer. Helps to clear up something I didn't even know I was wondering about... but come to think of it... I should have wondered more about why people would act like that (or other similar scenes) to me and not others. What is that, I wonder? Why was I not eve... |

| I think it is sad you feel the need to feel that way. You're right about that. It's really sad. It's very very sad, especially when you consider that when women "feel that way," it's a reaction to their experiences. Constant (or even infrequent) uninvited, unwanted, unpleasant intrusions from men t... |

| I'd love a baby to care for, but I don't relish the idea of being married to somebody at the same time. . 8O This is exactly how it went for me.

Most likely I would suck up the expense & inconvenience to have a post office box or call box somewhere near by. If that wasn't a possibility I guess I'd have to talk to the guy 8O But that'... |

| My main (neurological) diagnosis is ADHD and I've been using Adderall for about 10 years. I find it works much better within a structure. If I don't get myself into a framework, I could just as easily get obsessed with perfecting something that's not a priority. The drug itself doesn't help me; it's... |

So sorry for your loss. Bonnie had a good life; the best life a dog can have, with people who care about her.
Your blog is just beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. It's so hard, I know. |
