Hi what a fun thread to read! I have been enjoying it. I conquered my fear today to post here. I normally am not shy to jump right in not sure why I felt this way now. I was so happy when I found the "Dis" so many years ago. I started out here just trying to get tips and information on the parks. Now almost 9 years later it is so much more than a park information site. It nice to have a place to go and meet new people and new friends that share a lot in common. I am a stay at home mom so having only the cats around to listen to me (whom I love to death) can be a little monotonous.
.... I decided to spare them and myself today and share here.
I have in my posts shared about my DD and her struggles with vacations stemming from Asperger's. One of the toughest things for her has been to let anybody at school know. She didn't want her fellow classmates and friends to look and treat her differently. She hides it and makes up stuff to cover when things arise. She is a junior and has to write an essay this year and one for senior year. She informed me today that she is writing about her Asperger's and her journey with it. She made my day
I was so proud of her today for taking this huge step. I think she will see that this was the best thing she could do for herself as well as others. Who knows there could be another class mate who struggles who will feel like she has someone to turn too.
Thanks for listening and have a great day! I look forward to more stories to follow
