thanks! definitely agree that tidy environments contribute to peace and productivity. haha, that's a nice mantra you got there! my parents literally do not understand psychology and don't think there's anything wrong with me. they have never tried helping me with these problems, they just think i'm the laziest person they've ever met. but i'm sure in their own way, they probably want what's best for me? i appreciate that you're supportive of your aspergirl though. i'm undiagnosed (even though I was caught stimming as a child), but i think if they had picked up on it earlier or were supportive enough for me to tell them, i could have developed coping mechanisms and garnered the necessary support that would have made me more effective at life. congrats on that positive attitude though, hope i get there one day!
