[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 304790, member: 1963"] I am going to quote two people dear to me. My mother, dealing with her ONE HUNDRED YEAR OLD father, who is also a very rigid Aspie, said "being old, frail, or sick is NO excuse for being rude and demanding"\ My late husband, who was ill and progressively disabled before he died, once asked me to give him a "few" before he came out to get together with family:--give me some time to adjust my attitude--being sick and in pain is no excuse for me being snappish. I firmly believe this. I'm on the autism spectrum myself, bipolar, and have mild fibromyalgia. You CAN still be polite and considerate with osteogenesis imperfecta. I supervised a young man with the disorder for several years. He was also wheelchair bound and used a power chair to get around.\ I worked with him and my management to arrange a suitable work station for him, but other that he was nothing more than another dedicated worker on my team. In fact, sometimes seeing him in his wheelchair jarred me as I just didn't think of him as disabled.d I have NO patience with illness being used as an excuse for bad behavior in adults. We still have to fit in with society and that means interacting politely with others. [/QUOTE]
