Hi everyone, I was professionally diagnosed with Asperger when I was 14. At the time, I was seeing a really dreadful counselor for being a troublesome teen. My stepmother latched onto the diagnosis and convinced my father to put me in a group home. I escaped and was on my own at 14.
I am married, 30 years and now have grandkids that are on the spectrum. I never focused on my Asperger diagnosis and actually resented it. I worry about my grandchildren when I think of my own horrendous childhood. I don't want them to have the bad experiences that I did. I am a artist, so people kind of expected me to be quirky. Glad to have found this forum.
