Voice of An Invisible Disablity

 "It was easier for me to get my PhD in physics than to learn how to have a conversation with a stranger" 

"We call it an invisible disability because when they see evidence of somebody like myself struggling, they in their minds imagine well what would I be doing if I was doing that well I would be a jerk or I would be selfish or I'd be obstinate or something like that, therefore, you must be a jerk or obstinate. And so you know rather than getting some help and accommodations we get a we get a lot of aggression and pushback and people trying to shame us and put us down."
