If I knew about it and it's not like an overnight change I think I will try to thrive. Most of that are manageable with some support. Imagine the brownie points I can have.

Also! I'll learn how to wheelie.

If I'm the parent I'll try to give them the best life. If it's still unbearable for them then I'll support them whatever they decide. Canada has MAID(medical assisted in dying).

Blind wheelies would certainly be impressive
