Grabbing on to Good Feelings

 


 

by Orchid Press

 

 

Thanks to everyone for completing the annual questionnaire last fall.  In the questionnaire, there was a request for newsletter topics, and one of the suggestions was a discussion of the positive aspects of AIS.  At the 2004 Annual Meeting in Madison, attendees were asked a series of questions about their AIS experiences and one of those questions just happened to be "tell us something that you like about having AIS."  A small sampling of the responses follows:

  • Great skin, no periods! (A very popular response!)
  • Supportive friends.
  • I like being unique and special.
  • A slightly more developed sympathy for people
    marginalized by society.
  • Being a super-woman.
  • Helping others who in turn help me.
  • Being loved and accepted by my spouse, just the
    way I am.
  • I have learned a lot about human development and
    genetics.

So, if you find yourself experiencing self doubt or inadequacy, just remember what makes you special and unique.  Perhaps you have your own personal reaction or response to what makes you special as an AIS woman.  Latch on to those positive feelings and don't let go!

We will address other issues that have been suggested as newsletter topics in future editions of the Orchid Press.  If you have a specific topic you'd like to see explored, please contact us at aissgusa@hotmail.com.
