Have any of the people reading this ever thought about how sometimes a disability can strip you of your right to jealousy? So many times I've struggled to just be normal, that the thought of being exceptional is beyond me. Be grateful for what you have, I've been told. Yet not a single autistic person in the media remains undefined by their disability. Maybe someday we'll have an autistic character for whom their disability is only a part of who they are, and not the whole person. I, for one, have to note that I'm both Autistic and a Dreamer. Both are important, but it's possible for one to exist without the other.
