[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the thing that bugs me most is when people roll their eyes in what they think is "solidarity" with me when I say my son gets PT and OT to help him walk and eat/drink. "What a crock - he'll walk when he's ready. People get so freaked out these days, don't they?" one coworker said when I mentioned my son's therapy schedule. WTF does he know about my son and his abilities? I know he's trying to be encouraging, but it comes across as diminishing the challenges my son faces.[/quote] At the same time, don't assume that my kid won't or can't do something. It might take him longer to learn a skill. He might not take the same route to get there. There's tons of stuff he can learn to do with patience and persistence, though, and I don't want to hear from someone who isn't a treating medical provider or a parent in our house what this kid can't do. If you're not part of the team, you don't know what his prognosis is, so STFU.[/quote]
