I found your blog through James at That Explains Everything. My husband and I are NT parents adopting a little boy on the spectrum. I have loved every post I've read so far. Thank you for opening up your soul to share with all of us. I plan to be a supportive mom to this little man and it helps me to see things from an adult's point of view. Thank you! Happy Anniversary, ~S Rachel,

It's been 8 years since I was diagnosed when I was 15 and I still get the self-hating "you are lazy, you are stupid, you are a liar, you are making excuses" memes I have internalized running through my head.
