@tluper6491 sending you lots of hugs (if you accept them). It can be painful to feel like a burden. We all are connected to each other and when you think about it, it can make everyone a burden to someone.

It's okay to feel whiny, it's okay to not feel strong all day and it's okay to reach out for help as you can be sure about it that to everyone around you someone played their part to make it possible that they are living the life they know.

Makes me more comfortable to take my time, learn in a way that works best for me, and ultimately do the best I can! :) (Dyslexia/Dyspraxia :) )

Very misunderstood. There is nothing like the few people who are going to get the best of all of the things you say that you can get they are really understanding.

Good, mostly. Like Im getting it off my chest. I found out I was autistic years ago but I cant talk about it with any of my family members because they all think that vaccines cause autism, and they dont really seem to have a good understanding of disability in general. Theyve gotten a little better lately which is so great, I just dont know if theyll accept me if I come out as autistic. They hate how I never change anything in my room and how I talk and I cant stim in front of them at all. But otherwise its good, Im just getting this stuff out of my head cause Ive been thinking about it a lot.
