Tough question: why do we separate ourselves from the rest of the world?
I often have Aspie moments, but I include those times I know for a fact aren't NT and which I think are simply marvelous (the pos+ ones, right?). I found that apologising for how you're wired is just silly and makes nobody any wiser. They just think you are using it as an excuse or...- indigo basil

Glad you like it. I remember my sister going crazy when I played and replayed songs on a tape recorder to write down the lyrics. And then afterward to listen :) These days it's so much easier with the internet, isn't it?- indigo basil

I was misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at 17.
Thank you! I have no other mental health issues, nor anyone in my family, apart from"anxiety disorders", no abuse or trauma. The BPD diagnosis hurt my parents, because it implies something had happened to me when I was young, but there really was nothing apart from the shock of life, really. I...- indigo basil

I was misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder at 17.
Thank you! That is exactly what happened to me when I arrived here and read people's stories. I wept with happiness, sadness, relief, regret, thankfulness. It's amazing how knowing the truth sets one free. Corny, I know, but apt. And to have friends who are like me is simply amazing. I have...- indigo basil
