[quote=Anonymous]Just in case this is not an internet troll, but an actual person trying to figure out how his or her parents felt when they got the diagnosis --

No, I was not angry at all.  Scared, definitely.  Sad, a little.  I was worried about my kid, and had a lot of questions about what this would mean for him and what we could do to help him.  Then I went and read a ton of stuff about his issues, and after six months or so started to get angry.  But not about his diagnosis.  About how crappy our society is to people who are even a little bit different than everyone else.  About the fact that lots of people won't see how incredibly fantastic my son is because of his "disability," when at least 70% of what makes it a "disability" as opposed to just a difference is just that people tend to socially shun folks that act differently.  I have gotten angrier and angrier about that over time.  But I have never been angry or sad or anything else negative about having my kid.  He is the most interesting, and most loving, person I know.  Don't f'ing get me started about how much I love that kid.  That's how parents feel.[/quote]
