I just found your blog through Twitter yesterday, and as a mother of a little girl with autism, I'm extremely interested in what you have said in many of your blogs. After reading "We are Like Your Child," I can't wait to read the rest of them. I'm actively trying to raise autism awareness, and yes, acceptance, but what you stated in this post has caused me to reconsider my platform as well as my motive. I'm considering taking my admin page down completely, and at the very least, I'll be making some major changes. My daughter has speech that is very delayed, and I struggle to understand what she is telling me each day. The hardest part for me is never knowing whether or not I'm hearing what she's saying or what I think she should be saying. In short, thank you for this perspective. I will be reading your posts regularly as well as many of your suggested reading.

This kind of crap? Reminds me of my relatives who make excuses for people who kill kids with intellectual and physical disabilities... in front of my cousin with CP. And then argue that they're doing it <i>for her</i> to try to get more support for more services for disabled children. Even though she's an adult and lives independently and so on. <br />ischemgeeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-19210339295151580382013-07-23T05:43:16.292-04:002013-07-23T05:43:16.292-04:00Oh, this is just delightful.
