I am bonkers happy for your friend, even though she rudely draws attention to my solidly average grade in bio right now with no stroke.

And yeah, I accidentally left out, it sometimes takes my friend a minute to come up with the exact word she wants to use in a given situation, but her mastery of concepts, including futurism in tech (I say bc it's well beyond me. I didn't think 3D printers would ever be real) is 100%.

That's what some people refuse to accept: just bc you move through life differently, doesn't mean you're not as sharp or sharper than the next person. Honestly idk how people with really physically disabling issues but perfectly good brains get through the damn day, people are just jags in the extreme with this stuff. Ironically they can learn, but actively refuse to.
