[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 524522, member: 11791"] What you are involved in - or not involved in - does not change who you are [I]inside[/I]. The first thing I had to learn was to drop this whole "normal" label. What is "normal"? Who decides where the line is between "normal" and "not normal"? To the best of my knowledge... "normal" is a phantom. Undefined. You are not "average". Ok, fine. So are lots and lots and LOTS of other people. From Albert Einstein to my cousin with Downs... including most of the techno-geeks and many of the scientists around the globe. Average? Who wants to be average, anyway? You need to find yourself. Define yourself. Learn to like yourself. Warts and all. And THEN figure out what your place is in this world. This whole "change the law" thing is... a current project. Nothing more, nothing less. Not pursuing it doesn't change who you already are. So, it's your choice to pursue or not. And obviously, there are benefits to yourself in getting the law changed. (I'm ADHD too) [/QUOTE]
