Although I grew up in the UK rather than the USA that pretty much sums up what it was like. I was also given freedom to do my own thing by myself whenever I wanted even at quite a young age. This usually involved going to the rocky beach below the cliffs that started at the end of the town's promena...

Part of me hopes when I walk in tomorrow they say ‘before we start we reckon you do have AS because of all the notes I’ve given us’ but another part of me thinks it’s just as likely they haven’t read them, and probably lost them too.
