[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not American and feel that the USA is the most open-minded, by far, when it comes to discussing special needs. I've had heart to hearts with my two close friends, and I've helped out many other parents in SN discussion groups. I don't feel isolated at all, and I don't think American society is isolating such families. In other parts of the world, special needs are a real taboo, and families with a disabled child can be stigmatized in very impactful ways: the marriage prospects of their other children are in jeopardy, for example. [/quote] Well I feel incredibly isolated and think American society is very isolating to "such families." There's also a difference between those with obvious disabilities and those who are more invisible as OP mentioned. There's a lot of empathy going around for some kids with disabilities and not a lot for others who are just seen to be the way they are due to having a bad personality or bad parenting.[/quote]
