Gotta love having a disability that's invisible. You spend your life having to explain yourself to people because there isn't a big sign plastered to your forehead saying DISABLED'. Also I know that first problem too well. It's imperative that you figure out where you're sitting BEFORE you get your food. I sat alone with my friend two tabled away because she didn't know she needed to find me. Make that a conversation you have with them before you separate.
I agree social situations are awkward. I find myself avoiding them more and more. Situations even with people that I know I'm safe with people that I've known for a long time. And in situations where I really can't avoid being there because of circumstances or friends or an event are getting more and more difficult. And with people I don't know even with my cane I still have to explain and honestly going to the store is one of the worst places I just sometimes get tired of explaining. Thanks for the video
I know what you mean, I get tired as well explaining things over and over again. For the most part tho, I just try to educate the person if they ask. Maybe they finally got the courage up to ask someone and that person just happened to be me, or maybe they just really want to learn more. I try my best to take it one day at a time 😊
