You know me; I have so much trouble "understanding" and "communicating."

Those are pictures of some of the pages of the report written for Mass Rehab in 2016 about my work capabilities. 

This is the page where I wrote about that at my last blog:

There was literally nothing about my interaction with the agency that gave that report to Mass Rehab that caused the agency to think I needed a personal supervisor at work other than my honesty about the Internet search results for "Lena Kochman" and my honesty about being harassed at school.  

I never said that I need "a boss who will understand (my) disability."  What I said was that I needed an advocate who would prevent my being harassed at work.

That 1370 I had for my SATs in high school (750 Verbal, 620 Math) didn't help me to "understand" or "communicate" with most hospital staff, therapists or psychiatrists during my subsequent years of psychiatric hospitalizations, counseling and medication either, starting in 1992, the year after I graduated.  

People who, unlike me, have never felt successful in their lives might even think things such as "If people treat me as if I'm stupid no matter what I do, then why should I work at anything."  At least I had until I was almost 18 to think I wasn't stupid.

This picture was a joke about me, wasn't it?

This is another page from which what I wrote vanished from the page when I tried to publish it.   I have to write it all again.  I am outside, in the cold.  I can pay more money, to buy something and be indoors so I can write the page again, or I can stand outside in the cold and try to remember everything that it already took me half an hour to write.  While I figure out what I should do, I'll add the address for the term "Orange is the New Black original promotion" at the Images section of Google.  That's the picture that the title of this page is talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+Is+the+New+Black+original+promotion&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLpNeBkavaAhXE1IMKHS3wDW0Q_AUIESgB&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=w6jZASmCt6OFiM: White people.  Black people.  Latino/a people.  Asian people.  People of all races and religions.  Young people.  M...

This article is one of the few Google results for "North Korea" today that doesn't immediately blame President Trump for everything; it does that later, even after paragraphs that seem to prove that the problem is China.

I don't tend to think that I'm particularly educated, and it is upsetting that being relentlessly targeted for harassment and other abuse has prevented me from being able to obtain advanced degrees and start a professional life. However, my perhaps uneducated opinion about the Councilor's remarks is that I think that the U.S. and Chinese governments are understanding each other.
