i'm so happy for you, Barry, having finally been given a diagnosis! Unfortunately, it wasn't until relatively recently that those on the autism spectrum were diagnosed, the condition discussed openly and care given. Of course, all through the years your family (and the puppers!) have been there for you, and now with the addition of your monthly stipend from the government, life is a bit easier. There's pride to be taken in being able to pay your own rent, things such as Heidi's grooming and your cell phone bill. Good for you! Do keep us updated, Barry! We're here for you!!!
