Wrong I don’t miss the point. But it is not something that anyone with a child with autism should be embarrassed. Those children are still special, vulnerable and loved by God.

Jesus lady give it a rest

You spoke out of turn pretty much and just keep repeating your noble pronouncement

I’m guardian to a a mentally retarded relative and have been for years

Yes she’s a blessing still at 89

But it’s also a helluva challenge and no one mentally handicapped or whatever prefers being that way if they are cognizant enough to realize their state and that life has passed them by in some ways

When conversi,ng and it drifts towards recognition by accident you can see the fear of acknowledgement ...my aunt who is mildly retarded from a bad delivery knows it but rarely brings it up to me ...maybe three times in decades....” Why am I different?”...it’s pitiful and heartrending and yes...sad

I have seen upset frustrated autistic or Aspergers so sad cause they don’t fit in and it just kills the parents to see their child’s anguish

Yes rhetorically any life is a blessing

But at what point is it sad?

Spina bifida?

Cystic fibrosis.?

Severe juvenile onset schizophrenia?

I got five kids and nine dependents and I wish mine had none of the issues or traits they struggle to manage

It’s sad for me to watch those I love suffer with little recourse..

And if I wish to think it’s sad when kids get dealt a tough hand dealt by God I can think that without being judged by the high and mighty

And yes I believe the isolation of serious autism is sad....very sad and yes it is something I know about personally

I swear freepers love to scold

Mouse and bank...courtesy ping
