Story

Hi, Gary:

Big Smiles. Bravo.

I hear you, Gary. And I'm not mad at you. Thanks for the good postings on Tell Us Your Story.

I'm hard of hearing, CAPD(LD), bipolar. Late-diagnosed hearing impaired at 12. Hard of Hearing all my life.

I've been through rehab; they sent me to a place for the very mentally retarded for training. No system set up for those like me. Ended up in a very bad job with boss and employees who discriminated against the disabled.

They called it the mentally retarded group that came in for a half a day the "Zoo."

I told my rehab counselor about it and nothing done. Was still in the dark myself, then, if there was anything to do.

Your family in this world.
Christopher
