On the road again, Auties and Allies. This time to see the Grands in Georgia. We had a marvelous time in New Mexico and I can't wait to go back sometime!

I have this awesome catalog that arrived awhile back. Almost every single thing in it has to to with the Spectrum. Several books really spoke to my heart. One is about co-morbidities that frequently appear alongside our commonly held Autism traits. Strengths and challenges alike are dealt with in various ways.

The first book deals with anxiety. The second book specifically addresses the topic of Adult Asperpers. Although technically this term is no longer used in clinical settings, many of us were diagnosed at a time when it was indeed used. Some of us still refer to ourselves as Aspie, and even write blogs about it.

While attending our conference in New Mexico, a dear friend described me to another individual as "High Functioning Autistic." I may have winced a little bit at that, mainly because the Auties I communicate with have entirely washed their hands of the idea of using " function levels" in describing children or adults.

No matter. Peace out.
