uh, wow…. not sure how to take that….
however, I would like to point out that ALL of my comments are smart… usually smart-alecky, but smart nonetheless.

The nerd list or the FLAG list?

Tammy! I wish we had gotten to know each other sooner to lean on one another then too, and not to just swap gfcf recipes (The animal cookies are kinickkinnick). I’m so excited about having someone to call and I love it when you call me (so don’t ever think that you’re bugging me)! There are still a few friends in that “crowd” that I will miss, but I’ll just have to make an effort to keep in touch with them. But with friends like you, maybe I won’t miss them as much!

Thanks Trish. I think because this blog was dedicated to The Boys (all three of them) I forget to blog about me. I never realize how great it feels to get it off my chest out in cyberspace, and then to have support via comments just makes it even more worth keeping my book closed.

Wow, what a smart comment. Not that I didn’t think you had it in you, but it is nice to see us still on that track of sisterly-brotherly friendship. It would suck for you to always be wrong, so I’m glad we think alike.

A difficult journey that unfortunately many of us have travelled along. I’m sorry we are both going through this Asperger’s world but I’m glad we can do it together and lean on one another when times get tough (ok tougher than the every day normal but I’m here no matter what!). You are an inspiration to me. I hope your friends will soon realize what a treasure they have lost.

What a tough decision. We recently lost some friends who we thought would be around forever and it is painful no matter what the reason is. Thanks for sharing so much of your heart.

Another great post. I’m always here if you need me… I know that you know that, but sometimes it is nice to be reminded. Reading this, I am reminded of my childhood/teenage friends. You know as well as any that my best friends were the ones less socially accepted.

What I have learned now is to hold on to the friends that are truly yours. no matter of popularity or social status. The ones who “get you,” and are there for you when you truly need it, are your true friends. Notice I didn’t include other characteristics…. I sincerely believe that everyone needs a friend or 2 that sees some things differently… to help open my eyes to other points of view, or simply to confirm my own.

Another thing I have learned is to recognize that there are different levels of friendship and to accept my friends at those levels. I cannot make them to be more than what they are.
