[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen your previous post on this same issue.  I'm going to say something blunt and I'll probably be called mean and nasty and be told to go back to GP and have my post reported and all that but --

You have fears about ID.  Fine.  However, parents on the Special Needs Forum are dealing with ID, and we don't consider our children "less than."  We don't weep and wail and gnash our teeth and sob into our sleeves and shake our fists at the universe.  We actually like life.

If you have an obsession with ID, and a phobia about ID, I don't consider that to be a special needs issue.  I consider that to be an anxiety issue and you should post in Health and Medicine.

If, on the other hand, you want  tips about educating a child who actually has ID, I'm all about supporting you. If you want a support group, I'm here.  If you want resources, I'm ready to provide them.  But I consider your phobia and your fears of ID to be a  tedious, overblown, and an eye-roller.  Please get help for yourself.[/quote]

Nope, it's fair. I get equally annoyed when people ask if their kid has adhd or delays like its the end of the world. I understand. Fair point and well made. It's not so much the fear of the id, I just want desperately to know what we are dealing with so we can prepare, like so many of us do. That's the big question I guess. Sorry for being insensitive.
