But if i time myself, things have more of a chance of getting done more efficiently, but not as a regular person would do them. But I'm inconsistant. So at times even if I time myself, i"ll be a bit off, i might take five minutes extra one day. But c, w/o the watch, I have NO concept of time, so all is totally thrown off by my inconsistancy and thinks I'm stubborn. Then there's my memory problem. I DO remember things, but at times, my forgetfulness is a bit

much. I forget some things that even I'M embarrassed to admit! I have a sense of cleanliness, but I figure, as long as it doesn't smell or cause anything bad to happen, meaning it's just clutter, it can be cleaned some other time. As long as the house is in order when ppl come over right? Clothes need to be neatly worn and even put up, but it doesn't have to be perfect, as long as it isn't wrinkled when u wear it, it should b fine right? I try to observe things, but it gets away from me..so I can't remember where the car is parked, and I haVe tunnel vision, %26amp; my co-ordination is not the best, so I don't see straight. I've got all these things wrong with me, but yet, I have lived on my own; in an assisted living envirnment w/minimal help. But many seem to feel that I'm cocky or boast that I can do things a normal body can do, but when it comes to action, I can't. I don't recall boasting of such things. AS mentioned earlier, I can cook, it's edible and tasty, but if it takes an able body

ten minutes, it migiht take me an hour tops. But the food will be ready, and prepared as the recepie states. How is that talking the talk %26amp; not walking the walk? I can clean too, but due to my vision, and sense of cleanliness, what's clean to me, might be a mess to u. I wanna say what I mean, and mean what I say. Many think that I don't have disabilities by my writing, but I do, i have many as illustrated. I'm just being honest, not putting myself down. I don't want to sound like someone I'm not; %26amp; I'm tired of ppl thinking that I lie about myself. I can only do so much due to abilities, and until i can effectively fix them, I need to just be. But how do I do that w/o downplaying my abilities(some take that for pity), or up playing them(some say that's boasting)? Sorry this is so long, but please help me if u can! Step by step directions please. Inference ability is bad too. Thank You for all honest answers!!!!!!!How can I stop this behavior?
If people start to put you down because of your Disabilities, be PROUD of who and what you are and express "Disability Pride" to the people who are putting you down.
Chiropractor would have help me if I can get the medical insurance.
I walking every day and it made me feel like a drunk.How can I stop this behavior?
you worry too much a lot of us have these same traits and dont call them disabilities lots of people wear glasses and walk with a limp they are slow at getting things done but so what they get done everyone i talk to tell me about how forgetful they are be happy with your abilities lots of people cant walk at all you have sight be thankful for that some cant do anything for themselves but you can so that is another benefit just be yourself do the best you can dont worry about the small things thank god for what you got and dont focus on what you dont haveHow can I stop this behavior?
It sounds like you're doing fine.
It sounds like other people are the problem. If you are being judged for 'not walking the talk' then whoever said that is obviously a judgmental freak and maybe a bit of a stalker!
Don't these other people have anything better to do than watch your every word and point out where your words don't precisely match your actions? Sheesh! Lord help us if we all had to be closely scrutinised like that!
Don't worry about what you're doing. You're doing fine. The person who has the problem is the one who has nothing better to do than sit around judging you. They need to pay a little more attention to their own lives and get off your back.
Sounds to me like you've got your life sorted out - you're just doing your thing and having a good time. All you need is friends who support you - not judge you. That's good enough for most people on the planet. Whoever is giving you a hard time needs a slap!
Dont be embarased because it takes you longer to do things! Give yourself accolades because you do them !!!
When I first had my accident the people at the Pain Clinic were almost yelling at me "Say out loud "I am disabled" You HAVE to say it and know it before we can get anywhere."
And I was steadfast, pigheadedly refusing to EVER use the word disabled in connection with me - I was going to lick this thing come hell or high water -
I AM DISABLED. I HAVE LIMITATIONS IN WHAT I CAN DO. I APOLOGIZE TO NO ONE BECAUSE I AM THE BEST ME I CAN BE.
Its hard for anyone to admit they have limitations, one of my favourite things I am constantly saying to people when they get on my case about not doing enough is :
"I know my limitations do you? " Everyone has limitations of some kind, the person who beats up on me the most (verbally) is a runner, I finally said to him "So why arent you in the olympics?"
He of course said because he is too old -
I said "I see so YOU have physical limitations and it would be unrealistic for you to try out for the olympics, I can respect that"
What matters is who you see looking back at you in your mirror in the mornings and how YOU feel about that person. What you see reflected back in other people's eyes doesnt really matter -
You have mentioned a lot of positive good things about yourself - go with that.
