  • Can't relate to her at all. As a severely disabled autistic on state benefits, I could never do what she does. I can't raise a kid, can't have relationships, couldn't start my own business etc. I'm glad she can get understanding and help, but we really do need more sub categories because she doesn't have the condition I have at all.
