OH DEAR GOD DOES THIS MEAN MORE ASKS TO ANSWER :O (Nah I'm joking ;p I love your blog too ! But I do hope you get less asks on a daily basis than we just got in the last few hours ! ) -Sister Cat

I actually find it really ironic she blocked me for defending her. Okay, surround yourself with people who tell you how to feel. 

What would we do if there was some way that we could be "normal"? Well, I bet the people around us- our parents and teachers- would be ecstatic with joy and say, "Hallelujah! We'll change them back to normal right now!" And for ages and ages I badly wanted to be normal, too. Living with special needs is so depressing and so relentless; I used to think it'd be the best thing if I could just live my life like a normal person. But now, even if somebody developed a medicine to cure autism, I might well choose to stay as I am. Why have I come around to thinking this way? To give the short version, I've learned that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness, you will arrive at happiness. For us, you see, having autism is normal- so we can't know for sure what your "normal" is even like. But so long as we can learn to love ourselves, I'm not sure how much it matters whether we're normal or autistic.
