It's like realizing that you are short... after decades of being told that the only reason you can't reach as high as most people is because you are lazy.

Recently diagnosed and this metaphor feels right to me. Indeed, it works the other way around, because I'm "short" I can fit into places others can't (and similarly, my "condition" gives me some extra powers others don't always have).
