Interrrrrrresting...
Yes, I've been pretty sure for a while, and the Dx really feels like a formality to me. After the fact, anyway, when we were in the process, I was very nervous that there was some other thing going on that I'd never really heard of.
I guess I feel like having the piece of paper is the permission I've been waiting for to explain why we do things differently than people sometimes think we should. And why we need to have a freakin' PLAN.
I agree that Grandin can be a bit rigid... but that's part of the package, no? And her experience is fairly close to mine.
Off to think.... back later
