Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thought you guys might like this:POP SyndromeThe AMA* has just released information regarding a new and relativelyunknown condition plaguing a growing segment of our population. Whileit is unclear exactly how many people are affected by POP Syndrome,the condition seems to have a genetic component connecting it toAutism, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD and a myriad of other disabilities. Thegenetic connection is undeniable as POP Syndrome almost exclusivelyaffects mothers of disabled children. More puzzling is the fact thatthe condition appears to lay dormant in a mother and only becomesapparent shortly after her disabled child enters the public schoolsystem.POP Syndrome comes with a host of symptoms and unusual behaviors,including but not limited to the following:-Sufferers are frequently observed repeatedly calling schoolofficials and then leaving messages as if they expect their call tobe returned.-Mothers with POP Syndrome are often seen meeting with schoolofficials. To the casual observer, this may seem normal. However,this futile exercise so closely resembles talking to a brick wall, itis deemed an unusual behavior.-The condition appears to affect communication and causes thesufferer to echo the same phrases over and over again. These echosusually include phrases such as, "We need to schedule an IEPmeeting", "I'll need that in writing" and "Why not?".-Eye twitches and unexpected outbursts of foul language are alsocommon with this disorder.At this time, there is no known cure for POP (Pissed Off Parent)Syndrome. Until a treatment becomes available, these brave motherswill live in the shadows of our society...twitching , cursing anddialing.*Angry Mothers Association.This message brought to you by SpectrumHope. com.
