I totally agree with all you say nowadays there are many options and no one fits all, but there are pluses as you say as well, I think we are so much more observant, and see things in a totally different way than others
I think I have it quite mild or maybe i am just used to how I work or my brain works its always on the go and people have trouble understanding that's just the way I am wired, but knowing how I am even if mild it does help me to understand our grandson I think I can relate to him in a way many others dont, well except his nothers father he is the same as us not that he would ever admit it LOL
