It took many years, but I am pleased to say that I finally know what the cause of my being "different" is. Three years ago I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and a relative wrote a note to my counselor who put it in my file at the psych center, and he said several things mentioned (I do not know what they are, nor do I want to) that I did growing up points to Asperger's.

I wish that it would have been known about in the 70's and 80's.
