Hi RockinMan,
I know what it's like to think differently, I have ADD (the non hyperactive variety). I used to think negatively about how my mind was, but when I was 24 I realized that some of the very things I saw as bad were actually underdeveloped gifts...I just couldn't see it until I stopped comparing myself negatively to how other people think and do things.
Please try not to take it personally when people bully. They only do it because they are ignorant and misunderstanding people who only look at the surface or outside behavior of a person before deciding how to treat them.
That doesn't make it okay, and it doesn't make them right.
I'm not a big fan of the term "disabled". I know some use it to give themselves closure after a long time of not knowing why they were different, and I get that. But remember, just because your earthly mind is called "disabled" in this world doesn't mean your spirit is disabled. That is untouchable. =) And that's the part of you that has the potential for the most genuine positive influence...it just may come up in a different way than you planned.
(I share this here because these are the things I remember to help me to stay positive, and I hope it helps you too.)
Will pray for you tonight.
