Dear Ablehere.

I'm Chris. I've got Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus, Dyspraxia and Asperger's. Together, they make of me an ugly bar steward(!) which is all people seem to see (think Elephant Man, if you've seen the movie, that's my story. All that happened to him's happened to me for real.) Had all my teeth kicked out, head caved in, been beaten up loads, had all my flats save this one burgled empty and boiling water chucked over me, giving me permanent ulcers. Despite the ugliness, I think of me as a nice person - I want to learn how to get others PAST the ugliness, to give me a shot at joining in before I'm too old to care! Only found out about you 10 mins ago, as I write this, wanted to give you a shot, see if you hate me because I'm ugly, too.
Yours respectfully,

Chris.

Computers, writing music, learning science, learning new things. Especially how to fit in with groups without them hating me because I'm ugly.
