[quote=Anonymous]My condolences for your brother. My mother and her sisters are curious about how much everyone makes, and used to be quite disparaging about people with special needs. It was ignorance and poor upbringing - they were neglected by their parents and left to fend for themselves. When my first child was born premature with a global developmental delay, and later diagnosed with learning disorders and inattentive ADHD, we told them everything. My mother was mortified at first that we told her sisters. But it led to a revolution in their minds, that health is not a taboo subject, and that a handicapped child is not an object of shame. It helped that my son has always been cute and calm. They became a lot more understanding and tolerant towards other-ableness. It's strange to say that my older relatives have "grown" in that regard, but that's exactly what they did! I hope your mother can change too. [/quote]
