Sorry to hear that.
You know, I bloody hate the 'comparison game'. Why is it people feel the need to do that? I mean, we don't do it for every other thing a person can possibly be or have so why do it for some things?
If you meet a single mum who is struggling and suffering from deep depression because of her situation, you wouldn't say "well so and so is a single mum and she manages just fine". Just because we're all on the spectrum, doesn't mean we're all the same person, we're all still individuals.
