Am I allowed to be impressed anyway? Serious question. I think it might bother me if someone was being impressed at *how well I cope with* my sensory issues, but I'd like it if they were impressed at how well I *used* that insight to accomplish something. It seems like you've acquired a valuable skill I don't have (phone skills; I have phone anti-skills like panicking) even though it's been forced on you by circumstances, such as like insufficiently convenient accessible transport, and I think that's why I thought it was so cool. But. Um. Words?
