[QUOTE="Margi, post: 203352, member: 30601"] Sometimes having a disability (hiding now) that is invisible can be difficult. If you look just like everyone else, people seem to find it hard to realise that your life is not quite as simple as theirs, and then they are intolerant if you need some time out to deal with the diabetes. My son is dyspraxic and aspergic and grumbles like mad about the fact that sometimes an invisible disability is harder to live with than a visible one, because people won't acknowledge you could be disabled in any way if you look 'normal'. Hey, but... [i]'always look on the bright side of life'... [/i] Sorry, off at a tangent a bit there. Off to bed now, got to be at work early and my son who helps is off on a camp for the weekend. Eeek! Are there extra hours in a Friday that I can borrow from somewhere else? Night night. [/QUOTE]
