What an honest protrayal of a professional woman who describes her childhood, refers to herself as an aspie, and wouldn't trade who she is for anything. Beautifully example of tolerance for autism/self.

I saw that in the News forum. :)
Certainly makes it closer to home for the staff there tho. Makes them more aware.

I thought it was written very well. Did you read it?

I also thought it was refreshing, the way she described the "otherness" she felt her whole life...

I think in order to understand our kids better, descriptions from an older person who grew up with AS is important.

I like that she is successful, overcame her own deficiencies and compensated.

What else can I say? I happen to like confessional writing.

What did you find NOT excellent about it?
