When I work with families.... I often see how the parents/families are trying to cope. Some really do not know any better - but that still affects how you feel about yourself. We try and "educate" them so they are more understanding and tolerant while they find ways to make your life better. No one but you knows what if feels like to be you.
My heart breaks so much to hear about your self-doubts and how clueless people may treat you. I admire individuals for the abilities - even though they may not be the same as mine. We try and help those that we can that are struggling in many areas. I have met some incredible and interesting "brains/individuals"
I am glad you have this site - it does not solve everything - helps me to be able to get it out of my head. I know it is helping me with my issues - I hope you feel the some way at times.
I do not have to look at the expression on your face .... you posts tell me a lot.
