The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have come to the conclusion that it might be a good idea to marry a surgeon who operates in the knee, hip and pelvic area. So if anyone knows of a single man who specializes in that area send them my way lol :-)

I was encouraged by a fellow member on here to share being a parent who has a disabled child.



The following is some of what i shared with her and whilst we both came to the same conclusion that had it been either one of us placed in a similar situation as the mother with the daughter we would have asked instead of brushing it to one side as if it had never happened.



When people hear or see someone who is disabled it is cause they might see something like a wheelchair or for a blind person maybe a white stick or a guide dog.



With Autism though you dont identify that person with the above suggestions and so people make an assumption that the child/young adult is spoilt or has been brought up wrong with parents who neglect their offspring.



A few weeks ago my youngest son and i were on a bus heading into town and whilst looking out of the window he tends to hold his hands like a painter would to view and scale things through them. This is his way of memorising what he has taken on without overloading his brain to much and views inside the hands and not outside.

Behind me was a girl with her mother who noticed her daughter was copying my son. It was only cause my son was turning round a corner with the bus and me watching what my son was seeing that i noticed this.

I smiled at the little girl and then she asked her mum why my boy was making patterns with his hands to look through.

The mother looked at her and said i dont know but stop it cause its not nice to stare or copy.

Not once for the rest of the journey did the mother think to ask me why my son was behaving this way.

Sure i could have said something to the mother but she was not being offensive and felt that if she if she really had wanted to know she would have asked.

My point is if it had been a blind person with a dog and the little girl had asked her mum why the person had a dog on the bus. Would she have said the same answer of i dont know but dont stare as its not nice to. Or would she have explained to the girl that the person was either born blind or had become blind through an accident and that the dog is a way to help the person from place to place.

Its my baby sisters birthday today.

Anchorette turned 29 and am missing her lots.

Saw her last year in october and cant wait for her and her family to visit this year.

Something to look forward to and a goal to aim for :)
