Oh! Oh! Can't NOT post this:

Dr. Y laughed numerous times in session in response to some of my funnier stories. She said they were "so classically ADD." (Such as the first day of seventh grade, when my science teacher said it might rain "cats and dogs" later in the year, and I instantly burst out barking at the top of my lungs.)

Said that my stories made the difference. "Anyone can walk in here and say that they can't remember things, or they lose things, or they can't concentrate at work. What makes it ADD is things like barking in class."

Anyway. She says she wants to quote me in the book she's writing on ADD, because some of the things I say are so "classic."

How about that?! I can indirectly entertain and inform the masses with my tales of woe and inadequacy.

*BEAM*

I knew being good-for-nothing was good for something!

*grin* For me, one of the "classic" signs that I have autism was the story I told my therapist about being six and my father saying "Get your shoes," and me saying "They're not shoes, they're sandals," in a very aggrieved way. How could my father not know the difference between shoes and sandals? I was worried about him.

Of course, this is funny because if you watch "Monty Python's Life of Brian," there's a whole argument about the shoe-sandal distinction in the middle of the movie.

I was worried about him.

Buah!

I'm pretty sure I've seen that movie, but have forgotten the shoe-sandal thing.
