I am handicapped and so are my sons. We are "normal" to each other. I forget how impaired my oldest son is. When he runs into something which trips him up, I am often jarringly reminded. The article suggests Dr. Miele likely experiences a "normal" home life and is sensitive to the detail of wanting to be known for the right reasons. He may not be painfully aware of how strangers react, because he is used to it. Or it might be like a constant annoyance which grates all the more for having gone on so long. It would be interesting to hear his take on it.
