Hi Claradoon. Good to see you again.
Kortie is right. Your diagnosis is just fine here, should be in Canada too. Best wishes. |

| I think it is okay to say people can’t connect with you. It’s accurate, not aggrandizing. Some conditions are extremely rare. My sister died of a cancer only a few have had. Because of my work, I come across disabilities that are exceedingly rare. So, I believe you. All I can do is say, I hear you a... |

I enjoy traveling alone and have been to many places solo.
People are more forgiving of quirks when traveling and in different cultures. In some ways, I feel more at ease abroad than at home. |
