You may question the diagnosis or believe that you have somehow overcome the disability so that it no longer exists. As a result, it becomes impossible for them to see how their disability affects other areas of difficulty. Such areas might include finding and maintaining a job, organization, controlling anger, money management and making and maintaining friendships, etc. Another form of denial may actually make you question the legitimacy of the disability itself. Anger Anger is the second stage.
Denial is often a more comfortable stage than anger.
It does not deal with any difficult emotions because we choose to push them away by not recognizing the reality of our situation. However, typically, at some point, reality comes crashing down and anger is often the result. At this point, you might direct your anger towards others. For example, you might blame your parents or teachers for not meeting your educational needs or not recognizing the problem in the first place. Sure, you have a right to feel angry at others and even to feel envious of their lives, but try to remember how much your anger can hurt others around you.
