7. As for myself, who wants to be ordinary?

Yeah there were times when I wish I could do chit chat like normal people. I can analyze the crap out of it but I can't do it. Makes parties and meeting people kinda sucky.

But so what? I'm not lonely. I have things that I enjoy and have done things I'm proud of. And my "disorder" gives me my super analytical skills, and I'm on my second career leveraging that.

Wouldn't change it for the world.

Same goes for minis. Autistic, adhd, severe allergies, and transgender. She's a handful.

If I could change one thing it would be the allergies, without a doubt. Otherwise, as it is to get her to do her homework, I wouldn't change a thing.
