Stop being so bitter. If you call yourself blessed why can't you see how we parents of children with dow-syndrome or other disabilities feel extremely blessed with these special angels.Iif you feel better by calling me not very bright go ahead. Bu...
Amanda you are so right. Quesadilla will never understand that God has a special goal for these little angels. And yes they are a very special gift of God.
The difference between you and me is that I do see my and my son's disabilities as a chalenge. I do use a wheelchair. I have to use a speechreader, narrator and the Dragon program to be able to use the computer. Sure it is a chalenge to get around...
I am stunned about this discussion. Clearly there is only one sociopath in this dicussion and that is Kaycee. Please Kaycee go see a shrink. I did have a choice between abortion or not. We choose live. My son has a lot of medical problems but who ...

Hi Marianne
I am 44 years old and married with 5 children, a son 22, daughters 20,16 and 15 and a 6 year old son who was diagnosed with Autism when he was 2.
Hope to talk to ya soon

I guess we didn't set out to prove to others our son's potential. We kinda just set out to meet basic goals one day at a time. He potty trained very late, his language was very late, we sent him to kindergarten late, etc. but goals were reached eventually. If we noticed someone that was involved with his educational process that did not have high enough goals for him, we would come in with coffee, cookies, and a smile on our faces and explain how excited we were about our son's future. They just needed to catch our vision--we needed to help in a friendly way. Here in Iowa, an IEP needs to be followed, and I was heavily involved with that process for all three of our sons. I may be over-simplifying it, but it was really a one day at a time process. Am I making any sense to you?
Our fourth son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 1/2 years old. He is currently 19 years old and a freshman at college 7 1/2 hours away from home. It was a long road, but we are thrilled to say we survived. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
Recently I became aware of the struggles military families face. A friend shared that her eleven-year-old daughter was trying to reconcile that her daddy had to carry guns and probably had killed people in self defense. In addition, the father has...
