I hope that it is a misdiagnosis. That way all of the town psychologists can go and start ruminating over something else. I remember originally being diagnosed with PDD(Pervasive Developmental Disorder) before asperger’s was first diagnosed in 1994. Around the time of graduating High School I had learned why I was treated like an idiot, had an association with the special education classes and had a speech impediment and a weird voice. It was really hard to accept autism because I’ve been desperately wanting to be seen as normal through all of my life.
Overtime I’ve become comfortable with the diagnosis but now it has become a demon on my own attitude and behavior. What a breath of fresh air it would be if the parents were wrong on their diagnosis. It still wouldn’t excuse all of the ugly things I’ve read being said about somebody with my disability but I guess I can get over it. I’ve read ugly stuff before.
There is no “normal.”
