Isn't it funny how we have this picture in our mind of what autism is, when it's really nothing like it? My husband and all three of our boys are on the spectrum and I can say they are all so very different from one another. I've wondered if I am, but haven't dug into that idea as much since I've been dealing with other personal issues.
I've heard from other adults that finally getting that diagnosis helped them better accept themselves and led to greater understanding of how to better take care of themselves. I hope that this is true for you as well.
