[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparents went through the early years thinking that if we just found (looked hard enough) for the right medical professionals, DD would be completely cured. That eventually turned into a kind of giving up and disregarding of any abilities or personality and a lot of subtle put downs. If I say "DD is looking forward to x" their response might be "She's really not capable of looking forward to something, is she?" Or if I send them a beautiful photo, "She could have been such a knockout, what a shame." They don't know her, it's like she's an amorphous blob just because she's disabled.[/quote] That's horrifying. I'm sorry.[/quote]
