Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hello im fairly new here, but now feel comfortabel to write to the group. I myself was diagnosed on the spectrum at age 42, my husband not long after at 39. We have a son who is age 7 he was diagnosed with autism and development delay at age 2, and we have 3 daughters , the youngest being diagnosed at 12 with aspergers. I have read recent postings , about being NT and autistic,well in my family , ive taught my family and still do say to them, we are all unique! and who or what is normal, who is the judge. Who as the right to say what is acceptable and what isnt , i have a family who are all diffrent from genuises to the younger ones that struggle to write their name . But each one is made to feel proud and special as they each achieve at their level. And each individual is validated on their acheivements , not compared to each other or anyone else outside the family. I dont believe in any therapies, or drugs .Love and encouragement is the key why change what god as created in its own right .A person who contributes something to this world no matter how large or small it may be. Sorry to ramble on , its one of my ways, ill be quiet now JEAN aka LadyBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't feel you need to be quiet. At least hum. I know bears like to hum. The vast majority of my family is bears (some of whom can be seen on my web site). " There's always room for another bear, " as they say in the bear-world, and I'm sure it's true here, too.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Welcome here. Autism for me personally is a way of life, not to be alterd to suit anyone or anything, it is a way of being, and the sooner we and others except this ,the better we can all find ways of relating and communicating ,and enjoying one anothers company online or in reality. It is interesting the way inwhich you phrased that because, Though I am online, I am very very in reality. We all are real here online. Kim, 39 aspergers.
