As our children’s advocates, we gotta keep fighting the labels. Or we end up with crap like “specially abled.” Ugh. I’d almost rather “retard.” At least, that can be used as an insulting retort. Specially abled sounds like we gave up and died.

Saving my blog as a Friday treat: what an amazing and humbling comment. I have no money to send if you get fired.

It does seem like the world can’t cope with individuals unless they can be put in a box and there will be no end to the ignorant and mean spirited.
I saved your blog as a treat for my Friday morning read and gave myself a limit of 3 posts so I wouldn’t use it all up at once. I got so lost in wandering thru that before I knew it I read 10 and was late calling a customer. It was worth it. Oh! and glad you got the giggle, I couldn’t resist the sandwich!

I’m right with you on this one. My kids have issues that have labels and terms, but they are, and will always be, people who are loved and have names and potential that are not described in any text book or manual.
