I had read a question on another website that asked "If you could take a pill to fix your brain and get rid of AS, would you take it?"

I thought about that for a second or 2, then I answered "No" I would not. I like who I am and I couldn't imagine being anything else other than the person who I am. I may act a little differently than most other people, but that is what makes me so interesting of a person to my friends. I may think differently than most other people, but that is what makes me so good at my job. I may have over-analyze everything that I see and hear, but that makes me such a great problem solver. I can go on and on..... I love being the person that I am and I am proud to be me : |

I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
