they 'should' but they haven't
part of that may be due to us folks with pd [present and past]
wanting to hide the symptoms away in shame and anger
[which i hope is a downward trend]
not to say we've caused the ignorance which is pretty widespread out there
but it surely hasn't helped to dispel any either
i have pd
i tell everyone i meet for longer than half an hour that i have it
which usually results in a conversation that feels good on both sides
we have to be our own best advocates
pd visibility = pd awareness = pd knowledge = pd power
