自閉症の僕が跳びはねる理由【THE REASON I JUMP】の「23．何が一番辛いですか？」（p60〜61）【What's the worst thing about having autism?(p70-71)】を読みました。
【p70】
The people who are looking after us may say, 'Minding these kids is really hard work, you know!' but for us - who are always causing the problems and are useless at pretty much everything we try to do - you can't begin to imagine how miserable and sad we get.
…
It's impossible not to wonder why we were born into this world as human beings at all.
５年ほど前に亡くなった老人のことを思い出しました。ただ、彼は健康な男性としての人生を一通り経験されています。
生まれた時から障害を持ち、更に皮肉なことに周囲の反応をきちんと感じ取る知性も持っている人々の辛さは、さらに酷いものであるはず。
【p71】
We can put up with our own hardships okay, but the thought that our lives are the source of other people's unhappiness, that's plain unbearable.
