It is so strong to feel and express these emotions! You actually made me feel better... I have multiple handicaps and have always been made to feel that it's still on me if I don't have a job or don't succeed in life. And I am every day painfully aware that there is just no way I can find a way to cure my autism or fibromyalgia. And sometimes I get angry at people not getting why I struggle (I am okay with no one supporting me, I never expected anyone to). And then I try to remind myself that I am being ableist towards myself, and that I am just lacking certain privileges that many people around me have. Seeing this video made me feel good. Because the more people realize their privilege, the more we can be kind to one another, and the more society will be better for it. (I have privileges too, I'm white, and am female and seen as 'cute' so I can get help from strangers, etc.) And I am happy for you that you have these abilities ! Thank you for sharing.
