This is something that I have to get off of my chest. I have read most of the post on here, and no I did not go back from months and months ago, but I did read quite a few. Most of you that post things, have pretty normal children, they might be autistic, or slow learners or hyper, but for the most part they appear to be quite normal. If your child can get out of bed by himself, then congratulations, if they can get dressed on their own, then congratulations, if they can enjoy a big breakfast that you have made for them, then congratulations, if they can say to you, Thank you mommy or daddy, I love you, then congratulations, if they can brush their teeth and wash their hands, then congratulations, and if they can run up to you at the end of the day and give you a big hug, then congratulations. The other side of all of this is, having to get up all through the night to rotate your child so that they don't get bed sores, having to get up and physically pick them up out of bed and change them and feed them with a feeding tube, and then have to give them breathing treatments throughout the day, then have to give them lots of medication in that tube in the belly so that they can survive, then at the end of the day having to physically give them a bath and lift them out of the bath and change them and by the way, they wear a diaper and they don't talk, so THIS mother has never and will never hear I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!! And you want to tell US to get over it?? So if I feel that my son should have the front of the line pass so that he is not stagnate and does not developed a pneumonia and end up in the hospital for weeks on end, then maybe you are the ones that need to get over it. I thought this was a board for disabled people to go to to help out, and all we got from you was that we are not like you so you deleted our post. Sounds like discrimination to me, just because we do not have ADHD or aspergurs ( spelling), or autism, I only wish that we only had to face those problems every day instead of what we do have to face. Do people star at your child and call them cruel names because they have facial anomalies, do kids make fun of and not want to be around your child, even though they did nothing wrong. How dare you tell me to get over it, I got over it 16 years ago, perhaps you need to educate yourself in what disability actually means and then maybe you can get over it.
