"'Yes, and while genetics help, based on the tests, it seems that your body would be unfavorable habitat for a fetus. And any child you might conceive'-he paused, flitted his eyes toward the prince before looking back at me-'might be unfit for... certain tasks.'"

Do you consider ADHD or/and Autism a disability? These conditions are classified as developmental disabilities, which means they affect how a person grows and learns.
They are not the same as learning disabilities, which affect specific skills like reading or math. People with developmental disabilities have the right to receive accommodations in their work and school environments, such as extra time, breaks, or assistive technology. However, some people may feel reluctant to ask for these accommodations, because they don't want to label themselves as disabled. I think this is the wrong way of thinking. I compare it to my situation of having poor eyesight. Without glasses or contacts, I see very little, just blurry blobs. Does that make me disabled? Maybe, but I don't let it stop me from living my life. I use glasses and contacts to correct my vision and make it easier for me to function and it is never questioned. Asking for help for ADHD and Autism related challenges should be seen in the same way as wearing glasses.

She knelt, then began the first of the thirteen ritual prayers. Now, if you think my description of her preparations took a while, that’s intentional. It might help you understand—in the slightest way—Yumi’s life. Because this wasn’t a special day, in terms of her duties. This was typical. Ritual eating. Ritual bathing. Ritual dressing. Ritual prayers. And more. Yumi was one of the Chosen, picked at birth, granted the ability to influence the hijo, the spirits. It was an enormous honor among her people. And they never let her forget it.
To truly cherish the things that are important to you,
you must first discard those that have outlived their
purpose. To get rid of what you no longer need is neither
wasteful nor shameful. Can you truthfully say that you
treasure something buried so deeply in a closet or drawer
that you have forgotten its existence? If things had feelings,
they would certainly not be happy. Free them from the prison
to which you have relegated them. Help them leave that
deserted isle to which you have exiled them. Let them go,
with gratitude. Not only you, but your things as well, will
feel clear and refreshed when you are done tidying.
In his day Julian was finding it more difficult than he had expected to put new life into the traditional Roman religion. He wanted to set aside Christianity and bring back the ancient pagan faith, but he saw clearly the drawing power of Christian love in practice: “Atheism [i.e., Christian faith] has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. It is a scandal that there is not a single Jew who is a beggar, and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but for ours as well; while those who belong to us look in vain for the help that we should render them.”
It is an accepted cliché in education that the number one goal of teachers should be to help students learn how to learn.
I always saw the value in that, sure. But in my mind, a better number one goal was this: I wanted to help students learn how to judge themselves.
Did they recognize their true abilities? Did they have a sense of their own flaws? Were they realistic about how others viewed them?
In the end, educators best serve students by helping them be more self-reflective. The only way any of us can improve—as Coach Graham taught me—is if we develop a real ability to assess ourselves. If we can’t accurately do that, how can we tell if we’re getting better or worse?
