Light It Up Blue

[Lee]

Here we are, two years later. Today was the 4th annual LIUB day. I wish I had participated, but in a twist of fate, I was suffering through a meltdown, sitting in the dark. Autism - there is no Aspergers as a separate diagnosis anymore - can be as crippling as any physical ailment.

Hope everything is better for you now.

I know its not the same thing, but I suffered a melt down of the mental variety when I was a little younger, I ended up hospitalized. Things get better and it seems that we are both living proof of that fact!

Its really nothing that ever gets better. Its how I am and always will be. My meltdowns are a complete break from reality. I withdraw into myself until I'm ready to come back out. Sometimes its just a couple of hours, but its lasted for as long as three days before. That must seem drastic to everyone but it seems normal to me. I've never known anything different.
