                    chosen  one  by  god  to  endow  upon        think  about  your  betterment.  They
                    that problem. But let me tell you my         might have been new parents who are
                    friend  that  you  are  not.  Let  me  tell   not  good  at  parenting,  yet.  They
                    you  that  you  are  not  the  unluckiest    might not be well versed with all the
                    person on planet Earth. Everyone in          knowledge  about  your  condition.
                    this  universe  is  fighting  their  own     They might not have taken the mental
                    battles.  At  first  glance  it  might  not   aspect  of  physical  disability  into
                    seem that bad of a deal and that big         consideration  then.  They  might  have
                    of a problem, but if you really go deep      been  surprised  by  the  idea  of  a  new
                    into  their  lives,  you’ll  notice  that    sibling  in  the  house.  But  they  never
                    they’re  dealing  with  as  big  of  a       meant harm to you. Forgive them for
                    problem  as  you  are.  Someone  might       all  the  mistakes  that they  have  made
                    be  dealing  with  a  financial,  mental,    or  are  still  making.  Tell  them  about
                    social, racial, gender-based, or cultural    what you are feeling about a decision
                    problem  of  some  form  and  shape.         they  made.  Educate  them  about  the
                    Even the rich and the poor are equally       things that you have discovered about
                    facing problems just that they are on a      your  disability.  But  please  forgive
                    different spectrum on the hierarchy of       them  because  it  is  good  for  you  as
                    needs.  A  person  you  might  think  is     well as a relief for them.
                    the most privileged kid in town is also
                    facing with some problem or another          And  finally  try  to  make  friends  who
                                                                 are your friends not just because you
                    just  that  he  is  not  allowed  by  the
                    society to voice any of his problems.        have  this  disability  but  because  they
                                                                 genuinely want to be friends with you.
                    So, do not think of it like you are one
                    in  a billion but think  of it  as though    These friends will make you feel that
                                                                 you are the most important person in
                    you are one among seven billion.
                                                                 their lives and a normal human being
                    Thirdly,  please  forgive  your  parents     at  the  same  time.  They  will  not
                    and  your  family  members  for  any         constantly remind you that you have a
                    mistake  they  did  while  handling  and     disability  and  treat  you  as  alien  who
                    treating your condition. Your parents        should be treated very differently than
                    might  have  done  something  which          everyone else. They will not shy away
                    they  thought  was  the  right  move  at     from scolding you or shouting at you
                    that  time.  Your  siblings  might  have     just because you have a disability and
                    said or done something that that they        they think you are not capable enough
                    thought  was  right.  Your  father  must     to  deal  with  it.  These  friends  will
                    have  kept  you  out of  some  occasion      ground you and bring you out of your
                    or  activity  because  he  thought  it       headspace  and  motivate  you  in
                    might  be  harmful  for  you.  Your          achieving  everything  and  anything
                    mother  might  have  done  something         that a human being can do. They will
                    because of their financial condition at      share  every  thought  and  make  you
                    that time. But let me remind you that        feel  comfortable  enough  so  that  you
