A mom I know who has a late twenties son with fragile X was at church one

Sunday. She ran into another mom she knew, whose children were neurotypical. She

asked how the woman's children were: " oh great, so and so is in graduate school

getting doctorate to become ( whatever). When asked what her fragile X son was

doing now my friend said, oh he's running a small business selling natural pet

treats. The other mother, looking agape, said how does he do that? My friend

explained how with an aid through supported employment he would call on

customers, deliver the product and exchange the money...

The other mother then had the audacity to say " and WHO pays for that? "

My friend smiled nicely ( when she probably wanted to kick the other lady's

teeth in)

" you do " ...

Absolutely brilliant. I am sure, her expression was priceless.I admit that I lie to inconsiderate folks that I pay myself (and then cry a little bit how expensive it is) If they are inconsiderate, I don't think I have any obligation to be honest.

It's no lie. You DO pay. Everyday of your life. We all pay. But not nearly as much as our children. <sigh>

:) I would have liked to have seen her face too!It took us 4 years and his entire trust fund before we ever saw services so I am thrilled to have them. I would venture to guess that most of us are still spending a ton of money in addition to what Medicaid waiver provides. Thank God for it though! Sent from my iPhone

The mom you know needs to borrow my hat. I only have one, and I always CARRY it, not wear it. When a conversation must be brought to a quick end, I smile, put the cap on and do an about-face. The cap is emroidered with four simple letters.....S T F U..... sphincters deserve no better treatrment.

Keep smiling. It'll make the bastards wonder what you're up to. Jim
