[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What it really comes down to is the impulse most parents of higher-functioning kids have to make sure their kids are not lumped in with the dreaded caste of the lower-functioning kids. [/quote] Please read this OP. [/quote] I think there is truth to this. Unfortunately, I feel that there is snobbery even in the SN world. As a parent of a LD child I get really annoyed when I hear jokes on Speechless about dumb people or in other situations where it is tossed about that between disabled persons, the ones who are physically but not mentally impaired are superior those who are mentally but not physically impaired. It disappoints me that those who experience prejudice and exclusion will blithely do the same to another group. If you are insulting lower-functioning persons I say you lose your right to boo-hoo about how unfair the world is. [/quote]
