[quote=Anonymous]Special needs mom here....taking your post at face value OP, since I wasn't there...you have a special needs child and the other mom was a little competitive with you about minor developmental milestones. Sometimes I find that with my DD, who has cerebral palsy, people are very comfortable accepting her as a cute child with a beautiful smile, almost like something ornamental. But when I mention that she is in kindergarten and reading on grade level and doing addition/subtraction, they kind of freeze and tense up as if they have no concept of her being an actual intellect that could, possibly, be doing even better than some "normal" children. Same thing when I mention that she was potty trained at 2.5. "Oh!" People can be accepting of special needs kids...as long as they are cute, behind their peers, and non-competitive. I recommend posting this on the Special Needs board.[/quote]
