We can see our own growth back. it's good, even if sometimes painful. That’s one of the great things about blogging. We can see our own growth back. it’s good, even if sometimes painful.

We try to make sense of BIID by piecing together childhood experiences, but it seems confusing. I didn't understand that I might have been born this way until my interview with Dr. First (this April). Now those childhood experiences make much more sense from the point of view of someone who *already* had BIID. I broke my collar bone as a kid too (each one, on separate occasions). I had no friends too. I don't remember anyone being nicer to me with a sling than without a sling. I enjoyed reading about you , even though you might put things differently now.

I haven't read part two yet but thought it was important to point out in this post that BIID isn't about the attention. When I wrote this autobiography I was very new to the BIID world and was only just starting to learn how to think about things. Reading it now it kind of looks like a jumbled mess .
