| Question: how are you different, today, |

than you were yesterday? Or last week? Or whenever you found out about the diagnosis of Asperger's?
Does one word change you that much?
Then I have a word for you: fighter.
You fought for eleven years to overcome the differences you felt in yourself. Speaking as one who has had to fight very hard, himself (epilepsy misdiagnosed for twenty-two years as bipolar syndrome; there's a couple words that can really f4 up your life--not because they were true, but because they weren't, and, for twenty-two years after symptoms first manifested, I was continually given the wrong medications as a result), I think you'll only be disappointed in yourself if you actually give up, now. It's not a fight we can win; we are what we are.
But, sometimes, you fight even the fight you cannot win, just because you believe in it. You fight, because what you're fighting for is worth fighting for. Even though we will lose, we fight to show that we do believe, and what price we are willing to pay for what we believe.
We're different, anyway; we're going to be miserable, anyway. With all the cards stacked against us, we fight, because we'll be damned if we'll just let the bastards walk all over us. We can't win, but we can still show what we're made of, and we can still make Fate work to grind us down.
I hope you come back to read this, tonyz, because you owe at least yourself one more "yes or no" answer: after all you've fought for, are you just going to give up, now? Is that really how little you believe in what you struggled for, through all those years? |
