- He does not have any cognitive disabilities, is very intelligent and earned a bachelor’s degree, but would lose benefits if he earned more than minimum wage.
- She requests that well-intentioned acquaintances accept her responses and move on, feeling she owes no one an explanation despite persistent questioning.
- Beyond setting boundaries, she acknowledges her emotional strain, as well-intentioned acquaintances ask questions while she prioritizes her son's happiness and plans to seek professional support.
