I had a teachers aid over today to pick up some catalogs. Anyway, she works

with handicapped kids. I asked her about them and she told me that they

have things like Cerebral Palsy, MS, Downs, Autism....

She even noticed little things about Savannah that weren't quite " normal " .

Like how she was really personable but wouldn't look at you when she was

talking to you.

And this was the first time she had ever met my kids.

So if a total stranger can get it (albiet she works with these sorts of

kids) why can't a freaking family memeber??

Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's just too hard, but anyway it

wasn't the kind of fun we planed to have.

Not too sensitive at all. There is NOTHING more agonizing than having

finally come to grips with the fact that something is " wrong " with your

child, and then, instead of enjoying the support and comfort of those

around

you, having to FIGHT to convince THEM there's something " wrong " with

your

child!!!!!!!!!!

Like we'd really just wish this because it looks like fun. <sigh>

You are absolutely right, . Having has changed me in SO many

ways, all of them positive. I'm strong where I used to be wishy-washy.

I

am resilient where I used to just give up and go with the flow. I am

determined where I used to be a quitter. I am grateful where I used to

be

always wanting more. I am content with what I have, where I used to

always

be looking for something else.

Having has made me grow in ways I never could have imagined.

[>>] >>>>>> Greggory has gotten to a point I never thought I would see.

He is totally mainstreamed and holds great conversations, no longer

stims and has typical friends. My FIL told Jeff, " See? I told you he was

fine. " BLEECH!

Good for you! I'm sure if they keep at you the way they have been, you'll

get the strength to say it! Are you still going to tell your sister how

she's making you feel?

HOW TO CONVINCE YOUR FAMILY YOUR CHILD IS AUTISTIC

Invite them to stay at your house for two weeks.

Try to leave said child with them.

Try to get said child to interact with them.

Allow said child to remain in your bedroom for the entire TWO weeks, only

coming out to go to school, keeping her eyes CLOSED until she exited the

house and was free of all intruders.

Allow said child to SCREAM AND VOMIT violently while trying to get her

interact.

They won't EVER question you again.
