And that they are still unique amazing human beings!! <br /><br />Being a mom of a special needs kid has to be harder than what I've experienced as your emotions are more attached and more raw than mine, or at least I assume. <br /><br />But I try to approach each obstacle I face in regards to those who say uneducated hurtful things geared towards special needs as an educational opportunity. <br /><br />I don't excuse your co-workers behavior, and don't like that he tried to cover up his words by saying that his cousin has DS and blah blah blah, but maybe that night you were a light to him in that area. It's so hard because words hurt a lot, more than anything else sometimes....but we can combat those words by educating others...or at least attempting to. <br /><br />I love you Amy.

I've experienced comments abou...I am so sorry.<br /><br />I've experienced comments about myself firsthand when people don't realize that I can lipread.<br /><br />And all you can really do sometimes is hope to encourage someone to empathize.<br /><br />I think you are right - most people don't mean to hurt you with words. I would love to see the day when everyone is appreciated for their differences.<br /><br />By the way - he was absolutely spot on when he said Kheaven is cute!
