I don’t know what the solution is, but it’s hard having a kid that doesn’t have many friends.

I can imagine the emotional strain on you or any other parent when they see their children excluded from certain activities due to physical or mental impairment.

There is not a single one of us that is not proficient at something that others seem to handle with ease.

The overriding question to me is, is it the community's responsibility to accommodate the deficiencies of every member and to fulfill their every wish?

I don’t know if it is responsibility, but I think that people have become selfish and not caring.

Why not have some activities that take everyone and are not competitive? She would love to do theater, singing, softball, basketball but she sucks at it. She just wants to participate and have fun, but once you get into high school the groups are all competitive.

It’s just difficult. No real answers.
