I forgot to post this Sunday, but here it is:
Sunday was "My Day of Discovery". Today is the 8th year anniversary of a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Before I begin, please note that while I've told this story to many people, it's also for the benefit of those who are new to me. What happened to me? Well, my diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome was confirmed in my screening, thus giving myself a sense of closure about those doubts I had about it that had lingered for so long with me. I've called this day "My Day of Discovery" to honor this.
Wow, eight years, huh? Time flies. I know things have been screwed up these past couple years, but I will NEVER stop beacon of positivity (even with what is going on currently, and in spite of, confession time, me sometimes having periods of anxiety), because the world could use one, really.
Why am I so open about my diagnosis? Well, I want the world to know and be more aware of what I have, and that we're all unique parts of a puzzle.
Yes, I sometimes have my share of anxiety, I've had my share of heartbrak, but even through all this, I'll NEVER stop picking myself back up- because it's what I have to do. I know I still have my shortcomings, but no matter what, I'll never stop being me. I am forever grateful for this particular day because of the profound, positive effect it's had on me. I'm also grateful for everyone I've known over these years, because you've made me who I am: A very excellent person.
Thank you all for reading. Much love to all.
