| Bonnie: OP here. I'm glad you took the time to find this thread and respond. :) Your article made me think of the "opposite" issue I had growing up (InThisTogether mentioned this also). No one would have thought "autism" with me because the only "autism" anyone was awar... |

People would say that about me too...when they weren't saying I was "too q... |
