I was born with spina bifida and incon from birth. Like the line from the Simpsons when Milhouse says, "Bart's even less popular than the kid who still wears diapers," pretty much describes my childhood. Once it was revealed I still wore diapers and plastic pants, I couldn't buy a friend. At one point, a girl with epilepsy actually thanked me for showing up and taking the heat off her. My only salvation... we moved about every 9-12 months so I always had a few weeks before I was ostracized. But, hey... it sure made me one tough hombre, both psychically and physically.
