We were at this presentation and my son was acting out so we left to go to the OT room. As we're leaving I hear another mom hiss, "He's different, he has Autism, you know..." I didn't hear the rest but the way she said it made me feel dirty, like we had a VD or something. What gets me the most is the impact it has on my son. They're too busy making judgements to see his face. Sigh. <br /><br />PS--I'm super busy now---IEP is coming up on Friday, asthma's back and I'm exhausted. Will try FB and connecting soon. Muwwawah!!!

And, then, I begin to feel the rage that Oatie has to see and hear these blatant examples of stupidity and prejudice. You are out and about so often that you are being slammed with one horrible example after another - the insensitive comments, the judgmental stares. . . When we are out with Adam (a rare event these days) what I notice most frequently is that people DO NOT PAY ATTENTION. He is invisible to them. They will pay attention to the dog on his lap but not look at Adam's handsome face. People can't get past the wheelchair, the contracted arms. Ugh, ugh, and ugh - Sending love by the way. Keep on being a mama bear!Sharon Dzialohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072306267378560456noreply@blogger.com
