Make lists of the list makers rule

I have complex PTSD from being misdiagnosed as that stupid a-word. I see what all these people go through when that six letter death sentence enters their lives too early. It takes a village to raise a child, but all these children were abandoned by the village and the world when they needed support the most.

It's the same pattern. Everyone assumes you can't be educated, so they don't educate you, and you grow up uneducated. They assume you can't be independent, so they don't raise you to be independent, and you never grow to be independent. They assume you can't go to real school, so they don't put you in real school, and you never go to a real school. They assume nothing can be done about the issues you have, so they don't do anything about them, and you suffer from untreated mental illness and physical issues. (Hey bartender...) And, of course, the child's stunted growth is solely blamed on their disorder, and NOT the collective abandonment from society.

Grouping all these experiences into ONE WORD is what causes people with sensory issues to be raised as overgrown dependent babies instead of having a real life, just while wearing gloves and earplugs for example. You say it's an infinite spectrum, but never oppose the one-size-fits-all approach to it, until the negative aspect affects you. Like right now with this post.
