On this listserv, maybe most people do not see their child as lesser.

But on other listservs and message boards, they do. People

frequently post about how much they hate how their child

inconveniences them, how much they would love to have never had their

child in the first place, how much they can't wait until they can

place their child in a residential setting. Sometimes the words are

not this strong, sometimes they are. It happens. There are people

out there who would treat their child badly for being different. Here

is one example from just today. This one child's story here, when I

read it this morning, made me cry more than my story does when I type

it for others.
