                                  What does "mental" mean?
I hear many people say the word mental, but what does it mean? Many people use this word to describe a disabled person.  People say mental in a bad way which I think is very mean! To be honest I also use the word mental but that was before I found out I had APD. I hope all of you do use the word disabled of different if you ever need to. Many people might say this when they see a disabled person " Wow that person is so mental!" or "That person is mental so they are like so weird!" I know many may think disabled people are weird but I'm not weird even if I have a disability. I am raising awareness and getting public so you should to, you can make a difference.

  2. Sometimes, mental is used to describe people who are crazy, which is still really mean. Also, Maya, when did you find out that you had APD?
