Comment on My Life with ASD by OnTheMountainTop

Yeah, I got Autism, Asperger's specifically, too. I always describe it as 50% a social disorder and 50% a bunch of other stuff. Physical Sensitivity was an issue when I was younger but I was seeing this like child-physical-and-other-things-therapist lady, and she gave my mother this plastic brush and told her to brush me every morning for like 2 years and I was ok. Light, noise, and too many people still bother me though. I don't necessarily melt down but I can get a bit hostile when I do start getting bothered by those things. I've never realy seen my Autism as a disability, and DON'T START with the 'ho, your such an example over coming that' or praising me for that. I didn't overcome anything. It's just never gotten to much in my way, it's not something I did. It's more of what my parents did when I was younger, with the therapist lady and other things, that made it so I don't have a lot of conflict with it. I jut kinda roll with my Autism, it's who I am.
