Apropos of Nothing

I should start one of those bingo cards for Gross Ableist Tropes Used By Modern Writers Discussing Nerval

It's an awfully SPECIFIC Bingo game, maybe, but JAM ON TOAST. I'm, like, one " but did your parents love you"  away from winning the game.

(For the record: so far, from various sources, I've gotten "you're lucky your loved ones put up with you" , "context, we don't need no social context"  " all your skill is a result of your mental illness"  "your failure was inevitable because you're different"  and of course the classic " wow, you ate food and dressed sometimes, you're such an inspiration", and I AM VERY ANGRY.)
