How did you make your peace with this life?

Well, a few things

Not everybody will 'other' or misunderstood, though many might. Invisible can be hard, but also useful, sometimes.

Being in more tolerant environments, all are not equal.

Not that I'd have accepted this when I was younger, but there are greater challenges/worse things. Perspective makes a difference.

Ultimately, you find a way to live in the world. 

I really don’t know sometimes. Speaking for myself I have a few good day’s followed by ok days and then those dreadful dark days. It’s a common pattern for me and I just tell myself that it will pass and I’ll have some good days again. 
Misunderstood and invisible I can totally relate to especially around my wife’s family and our couple friends. Because I struggle to find words quickly enough in conversations I can see people drift away and then start a new topic, It’s so deflating. I really try with the scripting as well but you can never prepare for everything.
