[quote=Anonymous]This is why as a special needs parent I have needed to develop thick skin and make self care a necessity. There is so much ignorance and judgment. Despite getting countless hours of therapies for my child since toddlerhood and finding the right programs, and social skills groups and getting an IEP and hiring an advocate as needed and doing backflips to help him reach his potential there is the chance ina dulthood he might be what some of you consider a dud. Luckily my husband I love him unconditionally. He may just work part time or struggle with jobs. He may or may not make it through college. He may need to live with us for a long time. There will be many bumps and there have been many bumps already.

I have learned to give grace, enjoy the small things and protect myself and care for myself  because as this thread further supports....the world can be incredibly cruel and ruthless. Be careful though. I know partners in lawfirms, VPs in Finance, and Doctors who rose up and took horrible tumbles into job loss, legal woes, and even jail time.

Count your blessings and wish people well. Focus on how YOU can be a better person and please stop judging your neighbor's kids. Every life has value and meaning. No matter where my child ends up in adulthood he has a beautiful heart. He would never judge you as harshly as you seem to judge him.[/quote]
