[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 540893, member: 1550"] I hear you, Joanne. I have a son on the autism spectrum and he is so much more than that. I truly believe he is also treated as more than that. It's just that after her graduated, he did need some services for adults and his diagnosis helped him get them. I was close to posting about what a wonderful life my son is living right now, how he is maturing and loving his work, sports, and friends. When I look at him now, I k now he is on the autism spectrum, but I see him as who he is: He is my adult son with a heart of gold who tries harder than 99% of the people who exist who has a hearty laugh and an easygoing nature and is happier than most people in this world. His diagnosis is simply a means to get the extra help he needs. It does not define his heart or his soul or how we look at him. Now I have no idea what diagnosis you had, but I've been saddled with borderline traits and a mood disorder, but I am more than that as well. We have the power to control our disorders...sometimes with the help of therapy and medications. That does mean it is all that we are. I actually think my problems made me a stronger, more aware person so I try to see the good side. Your point is well taken. [/QUOTE]
