But for me, I feel I do it so as not to look weird, anxious of affected. I was told every day of my life as a child that i was odd, ... |

Also I understand it is common for us to re-play and analyse communications with others after the event. I was pondering on this recently ... |

Many people with AS have been struck

honest and not having someone to
assist them in going to medical review. |
