FAN FRIENDS
Thank the powers that whosits for the friends who stay with us through it all, huh? I have one gal who has been with me ever since we were fans via nothing but text-only e-mail when Lois & Clark, the New Adventures of Superman, was still airing its original episodes. She went by an entirely different name back then and it wasn't until just last year that I found out she was the same person. LOL! I just thought she was another nice person in the BTVS/ATS fandom who'd found me, but, nope, she's been with me for over 10 years, now...and that was before she even knew I was an Aspie. All she knew was I had a shitty home life and that she saw me through some pretty shitty trials with attempting to escape that home life and ending up right back where I started when those attempts didn't work out. Now that I've been diagnosed, we know why.
