Cool Article that Comforts Me

As someone who has actually suffered from thinking, "Does my own family think I'm weird?" And many other things as someone with Aspergers', this article comforts me a lot. Special interests I believe that I also tend to have rigid thinking, and many times have thought, "People are not going to like me and think I'm weird because I still look back on my childhood." However, I continue to live every day as myself, and even when my family seems to doubt my decisions and idosyncracies, I know I'm doing the right thing :) I'm excited for the future, and constantly waiting everyday for my first job interview and when I turn 18. I want to feel like I'm doing something <3

With the "think I'm weird" part, I tend to associate it with this quote:
 
Sometimes I get anxious when I read articles related to Aspergers'/Autism, cause it makes me think about what others might think of me. But luckily, once I stop thinking about it, I'm okay :)
 
My Mum tends to infodump to me, and I infodump to her, it's this really lovely bond that we have. I hope that soon I won't be constantly thinking, "Is my family NT or not...?" If they ever get a diagnosis to be the same as me, I would be relieved. But if that doesn't happen, I'll be okay too.

I quit worrying what others think of me long ago. In my oversight of pharmaceutical quality, what I asked myself is "Am I comfortable using this product or having my family use it? The opinions of others would not sway me.
 
Btw, I was in a pretty bad mood and kinda tired when I wrote this, guess I just like to vent sometimes cause I'm in a tricky situation ^^ I also use a big book to write my negative thoughts, but before I used to text them to others, which might not be the best thing :)
