i really don't like this term " special".

the way i've always seen it is, people should be treated the same no matter whatt.

so for example:

this person is special because he's got some sort of disorder, yet this person who's not mentally ill at all is not really that special.... i can't stand it.

just because we're ill, why should we get if you like... VIP treatment?

sure we need things like therapy and meds which someone needs to provide, but hell no- that does not make us special

can you picture someone going round saying- oh, this person takes meds and sees a therapist.. he's special- and we should treat them like a VIP- i'd be here for ages discussing it... it makes me angry
