Misae,

Under all my posts you can read "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". When I was young doctors and even my parents knew more about me than I did. Everybody tried to hide the truth for me. That has hurt me more than having AIS. My parents and even mu doctors believed that not telling me was the best solution. In hindsight the were wrong. I don't blame them for that because in hindsight it is easy to see what went wrong.

In my opinion "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" means that anyone has the right to find out the truth about themselves. It doesn't mean that I have to tell everybody that I have AIS. It doesn't mean that everyone has the right to tell me what the think is right for me. It just means that if I want to know something about myself, I have the right to look for answers and to find those answers.

Being open about AIS to others is a right, not an obligation.

I don't know how you can translate my experiences to your situation. I even don't know if it is possible to do that. Every situation is different and you'll have to take your own decisions.

I hope this helps a bit.

Groeten, Miriam
