The cave: a more optimist perspective about Dx.
It’s like having entered a cave. All your life you had to dig strenuosly narrow, unlivable tunnels under the earth to try keep the pace with normal people who moved at full ease on the soil above you. All what these people used to see of you was only your clumsiness. They didn’t see the effort that was behind your clumsiness, they only saw your being akward. At a point you find a cave, much larger than the tunnels you have traveled as a mole, alas not being a mole, but a terrestrial critter. The cave is badly lit, but you can find there the key to shed light about all your life, all past, and the chances for the future, poor or rich that they may be. At first you see dimly, but after some time you start to see more clearly the things around you, the past and the present. It’s a never ending source of surprises. The whole world is changing when you look. Humpty-dumpty is in pieces. But after all it might be the beginning of a metamorphosis towards being some more viable critter.
