This is the start…today I open up my blog to share what I know and experience in my world.
For being Asperger truly is a world unto itself and if you don’t think that’s possible well…stay with me and share my journey.
On the 23rd of November 2011 I wrote the following, intending to ‘go public’ (- things changed significantly enough in my life to stall the process and I haven’t been able to proceed with my intention until now):
It’s completely serendipitous that I should have reached a point where I have decided to add my voice to the Asperger realm of knowledge and discussion, when my son has finished school. Of my two children he is the one who most definitely did not want to broadcast our “suprability”. I call it that because I am well and truly over calling it a DIS-ability. I do not call it that to set myself apart, as I already am anyway. I do not call it that to big note myself or anyone else fortunate enough to be a member of this weird and wonderful diagnostic label. I simply call it that, to maintain a sense of confidence about who it is I and my fellow aspie friends are. While parts of our brain don’t function as effectively as they could, others make up for the deficit and provide us with abilities sometimes exceptional, sometimes weird, sometimes annoying and always unique. Suprabilities.
So here I am. Here we are. What do I intend?
I intend sharing the experience of being Asperger.
This sharing will in some instances be:
personal
academic
open
thoughtful and at all times…considerate.
I look forward to sharing with you.
