Did you know that not every disorder is visible?

Here's how I know, I was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, cognitive disorders and psychological disorders. But by looking at me I look normal and fine, once you get to know me, you realize I'm not like most. I've felt like an outsider most of my life cause it's hard for me to fit in, writing is my way of expressing myself. I'm a slow learner an sometimes the simplest things are hard for me to understand, but I work through things. I've been put down and made fun of, even been told I'm weird. I've also been asked how can I have those problems but look normal, appearances don't always show what's underneath. One thing I've learned growing up an having a bad self esteem, is you could be the most beautiful person in the world but your attitude makes you the ugliest! Even though I'm different than most I try an not let my disorders define every point of my life, cause I want to be like you but can't unless I make an effort. Does that make sense? I love making new friends all the time and would love to become friends with lots of you!
