Autism is described as a being a disorder that significantly impairs social interactions. When I first heard that, I thought they were talking about the child. What I didn't realize is that autism is a disorder that will significantly impair social interactions of the parent as well. Why? Because the first time your child breaks all the nick knacks in somebody's house for additional "sensory" input is pretty much the last time you will be invited over. Even when you are, it can be difficult to feign interest (as opposed to jealousy induced loathing) when everyone else is talking about the challenges of choosing between double accelerated 1st grade calculus and quadruple accelerated 1st grade trigonometry. At those times, you gotta have your autism peeps at your side. Sometimes, they are the only ones who get it.
Amy is one of those people that when life hands her lemons....she squeezes the hell out of them and throws them in the jerk's face who ruined her day in the first place. And she can make you laugh about it too. She is one of those people that makes you think, "Why doesn't she write a book or start her own website?"
Amy, thanks for always having something to say that makes me LMAO.
