I love the theoretical threads that are popping up and stimulating me. Here is one I often think about. Since a lot of us were DXed late, we ruminate on WHAT IF? What it if I knew????
If you knew then what you know now........If you could go back to age ten, knowing you are Apsie/Aut and how that would mean.....what would you change?
At first, I thought, wow, I would study all the Greek and Latin I could. But then i realized I would be called a Prodigy and go into special schools and maybe miss out on the people I met who have brought great joy into my life.
I have gone over how different it might be if I knew. I might never have even Tried to get into realtionships. I might have gotten into despair. My parents my have treated me with kid gloves.....I don't know.....maybe I would have not fought so hard.
I do think it's good to know, but looking back, I am not sure I would change anything.
So, in the end, I am not sure I would change anything.
Just wondering how those of you who have considered this, what did you end up thinking?
