Right now I know there are people who think I'm bizarre. But they don't do anything about it because I am independent. I don't have a visible disability, and I'm living on my own. But helping professionals seem to have been trained to make our choices for us, for our own good. When I train case managers, I start out by asking them what they had for breakfast.
Some people just have a coke.
People need to know, they just need to know, that everybody gets a choice in life. If you are told different, don't eat it. Don't fall under their spell. Just because I have a disability doesn't mean I have to have a four course meal every time I sit down. Everyone says a different time.
