I just found this article on Facebook and thought that it was well written and explained things easily and clearly to those who do not or cannot understand us...

Good article, Sharon. The "texts" help to illustrate what life is like for us and those around us and how everyone can better communicate his or her needs.
I just spent this summer back home with friends who had a hard time comprehending my limitations (they had theirs too) ...some wanted to drag me dancing at midnight (definitely not my best hour) or to eat every other hour...most just try to tell me that I am being difficult or a pain if I do not follow along with their plans...
Hard to not feel like you are disappointing them when you are not the life of the party...but I am learning to put my health first and state my needs then stick to my guns.
Hope you are doing well.
Sharon
