RE: who's autistic and proud?

I have mild Asperger's and proud of it.
I refuse to accept the removal of Asperger's from the DSM-V.
As
a man who was misdiagnosed for over 25 years by multiple psychiatric
professionals, endured many different, and I might add, UNNECESSARY,
psychiatric drugs and treatments etc....
As you might
imagine I have, with some exceptions, little respect for the
professional opinions of most psychiatric professionals.
Oh, well, life goes on.

Completely proud - I don't hide it, but I don't rub people's faces in it either. If anyone makes a comment about autism I generally come out straight away and I try my best to put right any incorrect preconceptions.
