The neurotypicals need to step back and consider what others have to offer.

I am still angry that having come so far and worked so hard masks the daily struggles I still face, such that no one sees that I am trying and no one empathizes. I have no hope that any of those things will change (either the deficits, as I have reached and passed my cognitive peak and my ability to compensate will only deteriorate from here on out, or the lack of understanding and empathy).
Yup, I am so sick of people thinking I could change myself if I wanted to. It's hard not to feel that I am at fault.

Haha, me too. My doctor keeps fussing for me to quit smoking. She just doesn't get it. I don't want to drag this out. She's all about longevity, but who wants to live a life that sucks. I have become resolved to the reality that my body is painful, both mentally and physically. And it's not going to get any better. Why do people who have the luck to enjoy their experience feel that they can't decide what's best for others. It's arrogant.
