I was taken aback when I was diagnosed at 21 and told, "Oh, that's why you're bright then." I don't think having Aspergers has anything to do with my intelligence. I put in a lot of effort to obtain my education. People may be so offensive without even realising it, and there are still a lot of prejudices to overcome.<br /><a href="https://webdesignjack.com/services/web-design-and-developement/ecommerce-solutions" rel="nofollow">ecommerce web development services</a>Kelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648506478953345535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-71419833175524892852020-09-23T16:01:29.091-07:002020-09-23T16:01:29.091-07:00Great post, making important points.

Although so far, I've come across a better understanding generally here in the UK, than what we experienced when we lived in Sweden. It can also be tricky with older generations, who may still have a belief in institutions being the best places to care for disabled... Hopefully with time, things will get better and better. Fingers crossed!

I don't attribute my intellectual ability to having Aspergers. I worked hard to get the education I did. People can be so offensive without realising it, there's a lot of preconceptions still to eradicate.<br /><br />#KCACOLS Katrina | ChatterFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911598129934368898noreply@blogger.com
