[quote=Anonymous]I talk to parents of "typical" children all the time. Always have and always will. I celebrate their achievements and they celebrate my SN child's achievements. It's not about walking on eggshells or fear of saying the wrong thing. And if one of my friends happened to say an "oopsie," they are my friends. I might say something like "Cut the crap," I might just forget about it. They are my friends, after all. Most of these comments come from total strangers -- well meaning strangers and I don't explode at them, I just kind of go "Huh!" and laugh with my husband about it. If a doctor hands out that "Trip to Holland" story in his waiting room, I know that's not a doctor for me because he just doesn't get it. So "typical moms," please don't take away from this that you can't say or do one wrong thing. This isn't like handling nuclear explosives.[/quote]
