At least now we can be happy with ourselves, at least more than we used to be. We can now look at ourselves in the mirror and not be ashamed or embarassed. well, at least more than we used to! to all of you out there we salute you, for being you for you and you alone.<BR/><BR/>peace and blessings<BR/><BR/>keepersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-24774709068003979782007-09-30T18:47:00.000-07:002007-09-30T18:47:00.000-07:00we too have quit trying to fit in and just gone ou...we too have quit trying to fit in and just gone our own way, we lost a lot of family but they weren't supportive anyway.

I've worn glasses since I was 3. I was a chronic nail-biter as a child, to the point of bleeding and infected fingers often, but my parents never figured out that I was abusing myself physically to help forget the mental anguish. So many things...the other day I tried to remember "normal" days from elementary and high school, and to my horror, found I could remember very, very little. I have vivid memories of bad times, but not day-to-day memories. *sigh*Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641783472479894858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-40449967527247496872007-09-29T11:37:00.000-07:002007-09-29T11:37:00.000-07:00I am happy I've gotten to this point too.

He was tested once as a toddler by, it turns out, a quack neurologist who didn't think kids with down syndrome had anything wrong with them either. So the fact this woman said he was fine was useless. His mother never got up the courage to have him tested again.<BR/><BR/>It's very sad because I think he could have used some help. While he is very high functioning, his social skills are practically non existent and this causes him lots of problems.<BR/><BR/>Your son is lucky he has you and that you care about him enough to see he has a problem. I think that can make all the difference.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187441051484747220.post-63593723108473622842007-09-29T11:29:00.000-07:002007-09-29T11:29:00.000-07:00Peer pressure is so strong.As a mother I am consta...Peer pressure is so strong.<BR/><BR/>As a mother I am constantly telling my boys to be who they are and NOT who people THINK they should be.<BR/><BR/>My 3yo has autism, I rarely speak of it. He is singled out occasionally and it breaks my heart to see him hurt.<BR/><BR/>People can be so cruel.<BR/><BR/>You said "It's ok for me to be who I am, and if those around me don't like it, that's their problem"<BR/><BR/>AMEN to that!!!! you are 150% right on.
