Took them that long |
Dave I was born with mild scoliosis and it wasn't until I had a lower back injury in my '30's that I was diagnosed.
The medical community does sensational work and by and large they are hard working, sincere and dilligent people who ease our suffering.
BUT.
If your condition isn't mainstream you are at serious risk of slipping through the gaps.
To complicate this if you dare to question diagnosis or insist on continuing symptoms in the face of their certainty then you WILL be viewed with suspicion and skepticism. |
True - When I was a Little Kid I doubt there was anything called High Functioning Autsim |
When it first came out it was called Asperger's syndrome Dave. (You probably know this anyway). It is still called that as well as being called High Functioning Autism. |

| Marty if your reading this, all the best and I loved seeing you in a Collingwood Black and White jumper. During John F. Kennedy Presidency he had Addison's disease. Other events got to JFK. Marty I am sure you will do better with your health than JFK. |

And Marty, you can always say: "Ich bin ein Magpie".

Sad news but Marty announced his recent diagnosis on the night of the Copeland Trophy night earlier in the year so this isn't really news to me to be honest.
Here's hoping he can manage the disease and stay healthy for many years to come. It's disappointing that he couldn't re-adjust to AFL football after two years away from the game but this disease could go some way in explaining his struggles.

Terrible news for such a young man., which explains much. I'm sure he doesn't read this, but i wish him all the best, and I hope he keeps about him the courage he showed out there in black and white. He will need it.
