I have survived Asperger's (undiagnosed) most of my life. I was only recently diagnosed and it connected a lot of dots for me. While I can't say that my life experiences as an Aspie have been pleasant, I can say that my life is what I made it. Like any other disability, I did not cause it. I can't cure it. I can only control my own attitude toward it. Keeping a positive attitude has made all the difference in the world for me. It made NT folks more willing to reach out to me and even accept my odd behaviors. Therefore I hope to share the experience, strength and hope I have gained from NT friends with my fellow Aspies in this forum.
