I think you're right. I do have a unique perspective that gives me empathy for T on one hand, because I know how stressful the job can be. Also I have empathy for my own clients because I know what it feels like. The fact that sitting on her own couch in a casual conversation with one of the receptionists made her uncomfortable makes me wonder if she does see her clients unequally. She says that we are all equal and we are all crazy, just in various and sundry ways. I just know the prevailing attitude toward I/DD as well as MH/SA where I'm at. It isn't always positive in the Bible-belt Southern USA.
