A lot of us, myself including, have been medicating for a very long time for issues we don't actually have.

More so, I'm thrilled with how comfortable you are in sharing it with the world. THIS is how we destigmatize (is that a word? I think it's a word...) autism-- one story at a time, one person at a time. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787132374434176781.post-26448504504255025172013-12-27T23:25:19.383-06:002013-12-27T23:25:19.383-06:00For me, it just means that I feel okay to be comfo...For me, it just means that I feel okay to be comfortable in my skin, which I never really have been. It means that I might be able to develop better coping mechanisms. It's like I've found the most comfortable pair of jeans ever and I never have to take them off (sensory issues, you know?).
