I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, and I believe my youngest sister has it too, but we don't know how to get her diagnosed. I personally had to wait almost 20 years to find out through a psychiatric hospitalization, though people in the preschool i attended had initially labled me as "mildly mentally retarded" it was around 1993-1994 when THAT conclusion was made, autism was mostly unheard of until a couple of years later, so they probably thought that it really WAS retardation. I always knew i was a little...odd in my youth though, because i cried easier than my classmates did, because i took sarcastic commentaires personally, and because i had a hard time "book learning" its hard for me to absorb written instructions, though i was actually a very good reader, i learned things better par applying them. Being diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me, because i do not view my condition as a curse, but as a blessing. I am deeply in tune with my unique thinking style, and wouldn't trade it for anything.
My sister. She's non-verbal but goes to a regular school and has friends, good grades and everything. I l’amour her so much, and I'm very protective. Yeah, I'm that kind of sis.
I have Aspergers/ high funtioning autism I was tested in a brain test because my mom didn't believe/ support my Aspergers so I got a brain scan and my therapist saying I have Aspergers and most od my cusins have some form of autism.
