[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 143915, member: 84"] Too right TM. Your post reminded me of my sunday school days as a child many years ago. We had a girl that was in our class who had pretty severe cerebral palsy and looking back probably autism with some other issues. I recall her name to this day. She drooled terribly because she had trouble closing her mouth, was nonverbal but would make various disturbing sounds often loudly. Sometimes she had trouble even sitting in her chair. But our sunday school teachers all had the same attitude. She [B]belonged.[/B] We were taught acceptance, kindness, and patience along with our sunday lessons because she was there every single sunday. We even were inspired to get creative because it was expected she was to be included in every activity to the best of her ability. Now that I think of it, we had many special needs kids during the years. I don't recall even one, even some of the worse difficult child's, ever being told they weren't welcome. I'm glad the mother and daughter found acceptance. I know for the girl that was always in my sunday classes, it was the most socializing she ever got, and the only place she ever belonged. And now that I think about it, I wonder if much I learned during that time didn't carry over into my adulthood and with my own difficult children. Hugs [/QUOTE]
