      tree @ tree: Would be a shame to lose a highly meaningful remark.
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:44 AM
      tree @ tree: Was it a highly meaningful remark? That you can recall, and repost?
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:43 AM
      tree @ tree: I don't see any message.
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:42 AM
      Mathalamus @ Mathalamus: was my message deleted?

      l-as @ l-as: I've struggled so much with identity, so I know I'll have a difficult time to not identify myself only as an asperger, but also to be able to identify with it in a healthy and constructive way. one step at a time, I suppose
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:41 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: that is a very healthy path to follow
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:40 AM
      l-as @ l-as: now that I've read so much about it, I need to just step back from the theories and all and start tasting life with this whole new level of understanding+1

      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: i think a lot of aspects of autism are neutral, and end up being good or bad based on context and personal viewpoints
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:39 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: and for many, being autistic has both good and bad parts
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:39 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: even if autism is a part of who someone is, we are all more than the sum of our parts
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:39 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: you will find lots of support here to deal with that aspect of things -- remembering that you are not a diagnosis and you are not a stereotype
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:38 AM
      l-as @ l-as: but I know I will struggle with that
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:38 AM
      l-as @ l-as: but then again, at least I'm able to cast reasonable doubt for things, that I'm still more than just the diagnosis
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:37 AM
      l-as @ l-as: not the first time I've looked back on my life with a new perspective, but it seems more taxing to do again than it was the first time
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:36 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: understandable, it can change how people look at things, challenge a lot of assumptions
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:36 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: ok, thanks, tree!+1
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:35 AM
      l-as @ l-as: but I guess I still am a little shocked about this, just the whole new perspective and 30 years already lived. But, at least I've been given a lot of support already.+1

      tree @ tree: If you don't have access by the end of the day....today, get back to me. Or you could tell Nitro.+1
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:35 AM
      the_tortoise @ the_tortoise: okay
      Nov 15, 2018 at 11:35 AM
      tree @ tree: Longer.+1
