What's wrong with "those people"?
recently I was made aware of some of my family's concern over my son going to camp with other children that were more "handicapped/disabled" than he is..... WHOA! if it were not for the urge to survive from Watson and my determination to help him in every way I could, our son, our precious Watson would be in a wheelchair, still have a feeding button, still need oxygen, still throw tantrums, still be non-vocal. How dare you still doubt my judgement when it comes to my children - there is not one family member who has had to take the path that I have - I was told my son may NOT LIVE, may never talk or walk, may be blind, mentally retarded, have cerabal palsy... but he does not! He has Asperger's Syndrome instead. But should HE be offended or upset or angry by peers who can do less than him? Everyday he has to deal with other "normal" (I hate that word) boys and girls ........ Let him see and maybe it will help understand how blessed he is.... I know I am.
