It's Time

I feel totally hopeful that things are changing for us. It’s nothing that I can point to directly - it’s just a feeling. There is the fact that Mouth to Hand continues to grow. And there is Alex’s appearance at the CHD Conference in a couple of weeks. It’s sold out, I just learned. Having a nonspeakers panel there is huge. We have been waiting for help forever. 

Way before I was born, some of my friends were diagnosed. Alex has waited for thirty years for something to help him. It’s insane that there’s still nothing.

I am feeling like something big is going to happen soon. I want it to be two things. First, I want it to be something to help our symptoms, especially the OCD. Secondly, I want typing to be universally accepted. I want my school to be forced to educate me.  I am tired of being thought of as stupid.

So yeah, it is time for something big and great to happen.
