I have to admit I do have another problem-- prosopagnosia (face blindness) along with AS, and I wish I had never been born because I am sick of always being odd, different, weird, annoying, considered stupid, etc. Does anyone else here also wish he/she had never been born? I know I am lucky not to be blind, deaf, or in a wheelchair, but the constant and lifelong criticism from those who consider themselves "normal" has made it all not worthwhile to me. If I had never been born I would not be able to miss anything and, most of all, I wouldn't be hurting and an alien in a hostile environment. Don't worry, I am almost 70, have been depressed most of my life, and haven't killed myself yet. I have responsibilities to my pets and it is possible one of my kids would honestly miss me. I have seen a great counselor when I was working and had great insurance and I wish I could afford counseling again. Not going to happen on my retiree's income. Medicare won't pay until I am certifiably nuts.
