[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 129054, member: 1161"] I'm sorry about the spiral of your difficult child, I hope your new appointments get you more help and understanding. I too watched that episode of Home Makeover. I do feel for the parents of kids with disabilities like his. However there are big differences in his parents situation and ours. Their child, though he can't see the world, is able to understand the world and fit into the world. Accomodations are made for him to fit into the world where his blindness and need for a wheelchair hinder his progress. Our children with disorders do not and probably never will understand the world around them the same as others, they see things differently than most. They can learn to fit in, as one member said their child once told them he was "getting better at pretending to be normal". It's hard to get accomodations for them, even (especially) at school. People look at our children and see a normal, beautiful child who behaves atrociously. Their disability is unseen so for most people isn't there, and as parents we have to fight so much harder to get the help our children need. [/QUOTE]
