Other people with mental health problems say sincerely what you said sarcastically.

What do you want? Does what they want stand in the way of you getting it?

Did you not read my comment - I clearly stated what I want: "[to be] asked what I actually want", not given it" whether I want it or not.

Sure I wasn't (in a way being) sarcastic when I said "...we really appreciate this extra consideration", just that that extra consideration be something we are involved in.

It's really simple: don't condescend or presume, but do ask. Do you not understand that?

If that happened to be online, and you happen to have a link, it'd be interesting to read
