[quote=Anonymous]Here's my perspective. I don't have a problem with kids needing explanations of wheelchairs and disabilities but at the same time it doesn't seem to build any bridges to seeing my child as a friend or more approachable or more included or more human. That's what I don't get. Why not have your kids stick around after getting their curiosity satisfied about the disability and swim/play/eat/interact/moviego with my child? Why is it always a case of hitting up me and my child for explanations of "What's wrong with her?" and then dashing off to your fun and your friends, as if we are some tourist attraction you needed to get the goods on? If you want to know more about my kid, great, but then you can stick around to really get to know her. Like she does ballet, horsebackriding, is going into second grade, loves certain tv shows. Not just what caused her condition and what her hardware is about. [/quote]
