Someone has already suggested that I go into an assisted living facility, where I don't have to worry about living alone, taking care of myself, and making meals.  I don't worry about living alone.  I don't worry about those things.

yep - what I call "normal" - isnt exactly what other (non-disabled) people call "normal"..

and people try & force their standards of living / routines etc.. onto us...

But my parents were / are good - theyve supported me - & wanted me to lead an independent life..

They do give suggestions, & "talks" though - but i'm pretty much left to my own - (the way i like(*D*) it).
