Thank you, Willow! (smile)
I've searched many a site and hadn't yet had the good fortune to find that one! When it comes to information, support and guidance that site, imho, is definitely one of the best!

I'm actually embarrassed to admit this, but I believe that my doing so, will help me in terms of being better able to "accept," me, for exactly the person I am (disability and all)
On ocassion, I, personally, have found my "disability" less taxing, than the times when I've admitted to another person (and myself!) the seemingly simple tasks at which I struggle.
I suppose, upon giving this some consideration, that I fear others will be as disappointed amd frustrated with me as I am with myself; that consequently, they will judge me as harshly and cruely as I so very often judge myself.
In some ways, I feel my learning to accept my disablity, is proving itself more challenging and, possibly even more difficult, than my learning to live with it.
Thank you for the insight!
