Read this post

I'd like to direct your attention to the following post written by my friend Happy13 who blogs at Wait. What? -->  Not Broken.

Really, really good post about how the things you say around your kids are not just words to them.

EDIT: Read this one, too, written by an adult on the spectrum: Autism Parents: It’s Time to Stand Up With Us

Why are you not number one by now? I f all 219 of your followers voted each day, you'd be number one. Who is not voting?

TFS. Loved that post. I really regret letting all the therapists talk in front of my kiddo like he wasn't aware.

I wrote a post awhile back about a similar topic: http://www.journeyswithautism.com/2011/01/08/auti.... It's about how angry and upset I feel as an autistic person when I hear people talk about autism as a disease/tragedy/the-worse-thing-the-planet-has-ever-known.

This stuff doesn't just affect kids. It affects autistic adults, too, in a major way. It's a constant battle to fight the impact on one's sense of self, and it's exhausting. No disabled person should have to expend precious energy bearing up against this kind of thing--and yet, of course, we have to put up with it all the time.
