Tobias: I’m afraid I just blue myself.
Lucille: Stop playing with Mother’s rape horn. Yes, I have a rape horn, Michael, because you took away my mace.
Buster: Yeah, like anyone would want to “R” her.
Lindsay: Oh, hi, Mom. I have the afternoon free.
Lucille: Really? Did nothing cancel?
Lindsay (on her new outfit): I guess she wanted me to have something new. Sweet old thing.
Michael: Only two of those words describe Mom, so I know you’re lying to me.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.
This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.
My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
