I don't hav MS, but I had stroke and since I'm 23 I get funny looks now for the way I talk and walk and write. I would be happier if people asked me why I was doing it rather than just treating me like I was messed up. If I was her, I would take it as a good thing that someone actually KNEW and could share the experience. I think I look at things differenly than most now though.
Sorry if this comes out a bit wrong I know what I'm TRYING to say.
