That's eactly how I feel about myself. I know I have special powers. God gave them to me, to us. Why the hell else do you think Van Gogh could paint like that? Because he was "normal?" You think Einstein thought the way he did because he was normal? Please. Gimme a break. We are different. Why not try to celebrate it, rather than feel bad and marginalized by it? I am trying to move in this direction.
I often think of myself as an alien- not of the human race. We are different! I've always felt this way my whole life even though I was not diagnosed until age 33.
