You (or the blogger) didn't give an example of how it would work if the disability was being acknowledged. Blair would still end up letting Aubrey go, wouldn't he/she?

It's very helpful. I'm only in college, but thanks to my disability accommodations, I don't have to worry about that problem anymore.

Aubrey needs treatment.

Aubrey needs treatment.

This is a non-sequitor to me.

Who is Aubrey?

Why do they need treatment/what do they need treatment for?

How is this related to the blog post I linked or to anything anyone has said?

Nevermind, see post below ....

Oh how easily I forget names of characters! Sorry @Fino!

Maybe she has treatment and it isn’t t enough.

Maybe the only treatment she is offered is meds and the side effects are unbearable or they don’t work for her.

Treatment doesn’t solve everything and part of good treatment is teaching people to assess their abilities realistically.

The point of the blog is that just believing you can do better is not enough and ignoring your limitations hurts everyone. And that just because people think you can do things or just because you see other people doing them with ease , doesn’t mean you can do them too/do them as easily or the same way.

You might be right for some people that Audrey exemplifies, and not ignoring limitations can mean trying medications if you haven’t before....or looking at other strategies or maybe it means flat out admitting there are certain things you can’t do and looking at changing your goals. (like getting a job with flexible deadlines or a different type of work you can actually keep up with, for example)

Oh, I see now! I like the blog! I agree with those points. Those are very important things to realize. I got fixated on Aubrey's problems and lost sight of the blog as a whole. I'm sorry!

It is okay, you didn’t do anything wrong!

I am sorry if I made you feel bad for sharing your thoughts about it.
