It's awful that somebody wouldn't bother to fill in your sick pay forms, and that you got discouraged from coming into work instead of appreciated... *sigh*. It's silly how much red tape and convincing doctors you're really, really, honestly, truly in pain and not just trying to sell tablets with pictures on them to ten year olds can be involved in getting prescriptions for over-the-counter meds. I've heard comments about benefits too, from people who don't even disagree with them, but they'll say stuff like "I wish I made a few quid out of living somewhere each week!" Do you wish you had the problems I do with independent living then? Do you wish you'd had a father who never taught you how to do anything or let you do anything practical in case you destroyed the universe? Do you wish you had aspergers so everyone would make fun of you all the time at school because you didn't fit with the stereotypical image of what teenagers are like (which isn't even true of all NT teens, but assumptions, they are teh rubbish).

Because I know how much it affects the people who love me, but they hardly ever talk about it... and these sort of posts give me ways to possibly start those conversations. So thank you. <abbr><em><abbr><em>NTEs last blog post..<a href="http://neverthateasy.blogspot.com/2009/05/part-dos.html" rel="nofollow">Part dos</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> It's so important for me, as a disabled person, to hear from people like you - who can give me glimpses into what it's like living with and loving a person with a disability.
