Tales of wonder from the Autism Spectrum
Holy smokes, does this *ever* sound familiar! I miss the old days of Aspergers… it really simplified things in my mind, and it made everything easier to explain to others – not that they were listening, but it seemed easier to me.

I love this post! Good reblog :)) Personally I still use the Asperger’s term. I even use the “Aspie” term; it’s relevant to me 🙂 That’s not to say, of course, that it’s superior to classic autism in any way – just different – and it doesn’t have to be dividing, of course. 🙂 I keep going back to the operating system analogy (because in my mind, it fits really well) – we may be running different versions of Mac – maybe some of us are Sierra and some of us are Yosemite; but in the end, we’re all Macs. I think it is OK to specify which “version” we’re running, though 🙂 Just my thoughts LOL. At any rate, awesome post, and I can relate as well ❤

Nice analogy with the OS – I’m not a Mac person (give me a Linux box, please), but I get the spirit of the references.
