It's really frustrating when you understand this but nobody else does and everyone in your life expects you to he normal without ever compromising on anything. Trying to explain that a disability is, y'know, disabling, just gets waved away as "making excuses" no matter what. Like believe it or not, I have considered just not forgetting things, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and put your foot down, I know that can be hard, but the people around you need to support you or know that you need support or there will be a limit to how much you interact with them.
