Being a disabled child is kind of like bing the gifted child in school. Everything you do is amazing, but at some point it switches to being not enough, and you don’t know exactly when.

You feel like you need to live up to invisible expectations you’ll never meet. Even if you can accept the things you’ll never do, all it seems to do sometimes is put pressure on the things you will achieve. You have to be better. You have to not fail.

Mistakes aren’t allowed to happen. Even if it’s just the voice in your head telling you that you’re not allowed to fail.
