Have any of you been diagnosed with autism? I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was 12, and I grow weary of the people who talk about it like it's something that needs to be treated and cured. Asperger's Syndrome is NOT an illness or a disease! There is no cure for it because one isn't needed. God made me this way. I wouldn't be the person I am today without AS; it has made me immensely compassionate, especially toward people with disabilities. Yes, I've struggled with it, but every person in the world has struggled with something or other. That is just the human condition. Not once has God told me that He's unhappy with my condition; it is from Him and for Him, like every other gift. So if any of you reading this are of the same mind, I hope I've connected with you!! Let's be joyful together and change the world. :)
