Thank you for expressing all of this so beautifully. <br /><br />HAve you read Andrew Solomon's Book "Far From The Tree?" It is incredible... and very very long (about 800 pages) but it is broken down in the stand-alone chapters. If you are intimidated/dont have time/arent a big reader, you can at least read the couple of chapters on disabilities. (along with his first chapter which is a must to get his point of reference and philosophy). <br /><br />Alicia Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244714478310893367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107348500321352911.post-71804188602597594162013-02-14T20:04:53.044-05:002013-02-14T20:04:53.044-05:00I love your message!

As a parent I want a quick smile from you, not a stare. just say, "hi" to us. It's as easy as that. :)smilinjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774270348325860387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107348500321352911.post-71282455128968247332013-02-07T08:30:17.869-05:002013-02-07T08:30:17.869-05:00Every time I encounter a kid like yours I ask myse...Every time I encounter a kid like yours I ask myself why I feel so awkward, why I find it so difficult to engage, why I'd be more comfortable somewhere else. I don't know.
