it's funny...Court is autistic, but every time I go to her school and see some of the other children in wheelchairs with severe disabilities, I start thinking how lucky she is that she "only" has autism....
yet at the same time, she is still autistic, and seeing these other children does nothing to change her situation....I don't know if she will ever be able to go to college and have the same opportunities as other kids her age....

it's such a double-edged sword to me....
I hope this makes sense!!
