Great stuff altogether and a principle that we really try to live by in our house. If I can add one other person that we should have respect for it is ourselves. Recognise that we as special needs parents and carers are doing a great job. I think we all are and dont always give ourselves enough credit. :-)<BR/><BR/> PollyFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-37029769041811058302008-04-11T11:54:00.000+01:002008-04-11T11:54:00.000+01:00houseofwah ID:- 30180 10/04/2008 20:07:54 ...houseofwah ID:- 30180 10/04/2008 20:07:54 Send PM reply no.:- 2 <BR/><BR/>I am not great with directions to places I am not familiar with. Actually, that is a big lie, I am brutal. Recently I missed a very important meeting becuase I didn't have a map & couldn't follow the verbal directions someone had carefully told me. My point (yes, there is one) It was a scary situation, I had nobody to help me get to my destination and was completely frustrated at my inability to just "get there" like everyone else had. If this is even the tip of the infamous "iceberg" I can only imagine what it's like not to be able to "communicate" or "understand" what is going on around you on an ongoing basis. <BR/>Oh, at the risk of repeating myself, nobody has the right to give up on your child, no matter how how "far behind" they may be perceived.<BR/>Wah<BR/>x<BR/>Well done with the blog Hammie, it is brill as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5827743438706478479.post-10404397141757170802008-04-10T19:23:00.000+01:002008-04-10T19:23:00.000+01:00Just wanted to say congratulations on getting your...Just wanted to say congratulations on getting your boy into (I presume) an ABA school. And as somebody else said already, we should respect ourselves as well, as we are all something (but none of us is everything).<BR/>VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
