There needs to be a lot more people like your friend around. There aren't enough kind people in the world these days who would be willing to see someone beyond their disability.
She is a very lovely person, she always donates to the poor, always take good care of her animals~
♥I guess I'm lucky to have a friend like her, and thank you~

Thats awesome!! kinda sounds like she already suspected that you have autism which makes the landing alot neater.
I have a way of telling everyone that I have high functioning autism (I actually have PDD-with autistic characteristics, but if you think aspergers gets a reaction from folks, trying telling them you have severe pervasive developmental disorder...it sounds kinda damning doesn't it, so I just keep it simple)
Anyway, most people that I tell that to usually are surprised but pleasant about it. In most people's mind (thanks to autism speaks) they think that all people with autism are in oversized diapers banging their head on the floor. Yes, I used to bang my head on the floor too, but I grew out of it and onto other forms of SI....but that is for another topic.
Anyway to the point, most of my experiences with coming out of aspie closet has been not too bad with the exception to therapists and such who dont believe me. That does not matter to me, cause I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old and this therapist did not know me back then or seen how much I struggled to get where I am....again another topic.\
Sorry, I cant seem to focus on the topic at hand
I will end this bunny hopping post with just saying...I hope all of your experiences with coming out of the aspie closet are as pleasant. You have a good friend.
When I was younger I use to hit my head against the floor as well. Hey, I was 2 and I wanted that lollie, can you blame me? (:
Well, I grew out of this too, I grew out a lot of things, I can function pretty normally in society, though, you can still notice some of my traits.
I have a similar problem as you~
