So you think my kid is a burden and must be hell to raise?Aww thanks for your pity, but no thanks. My child is a gift and if you had child with the same challenges, you would rise to the occasion. [/quote]

Awwwww, yeah.

That one makes me want to punch someone in the face.

I get this one too for having a child with severe food allergies to multiple foods.People have even said it to me in front of my child!
I always wonder if they would say the same thing to[b] a parent of a child in a wheel chair or some other more "obvious" special need.[/b]
A-holes! 
I also recently had someone ask loudly in front of my child if my (5yr old) child would die if they ate a kind of food. Talk about insensitivity![/quote]

WHOA.  This is perhaps the third or fourth time I have read on this forum that life is somehow magically easier if your child is severely disabled and in a wheelchair -- that people are so nice to you; that no one says anything nasty; that no one makes intrusive comments; that insurance and IEPS are easier.  Why do people believe SHIT like this?????  Do you really want to trade places, for even ONE DAY?[/quote]
