My daughter is on the spectrum it isn't a joke nor is it a pity party.
We love and respect her as is and who's to say it's such a bad thing? Just different.

@SW-User My daughter is too. High-functioning autism, she did well in math & sciences, music & art but socially she was very awkward socially. We didn’t know what autism was back then and one of her teachers told me that I needed to take her to the doctor and have her put on Ritalin. Which I would never do.
