This article is truly a great piece in which the author authentically and brashly explores her own experience with her disability. As a young woman who has hearing loss and studying to become a Rehab Counselor I can talk about LD inside out. But I can't understand how the daily expressions of this form of LD (spatial disability) turns out. This article definitely helped me understand so much more than any textbook ever could.
What really got to me in this article was when she talked about the role her mother plays in her life. I know from personal and professional experience that mothers tend to be the strongest advocate for their child. And the last lines describe it so well:
"And then she won't know which direction to go when she gets off. But it's no problem -- I'll just stand at the corner. And when she walks down the stairs I'll be there to meet her."
