 Quote From: kinksfan I feel sick to my stomach, after reading the preview of Tuesday's show. I feel sick to my stomach, because of what that woman said about her disabled son. I have Autism, myself and I care for people who have Down Syndrome. I would never wish not to have brought a disabled child into this world, if I did have a severly disabled child. That woman is a Pro-Choice B****. I feel no sympathy for her. I think that her husband is a very cool guy. I don't wish for that special, beautiful boy to be institutuinalized. The mother has a real attitude problem. Give the child to me. I'll raise him, and love him, with all the patience, in the world. I hate the negative attitude that most people have, about handicapped people. I think that social services should take that precious angel away from his mother, because there is no way that she would ever be able to care for him, if that's what her attitude is. That witch should have never been brought into this world. There are a lot of successful adults, who have Autism. There are a lot of successful adults, who have Down Syndrome. There are a lot of successful adults, who wear Depend's. That mother really needs to get over herself. I have Asperger's Syndrome and I have a soiling problem. Does that keep me from living independently, or looking for payed employment? No it doesn't. Does it keep me housebound? No it doesn't! Do I live in an institution, or a group home? No, I don't! I think that Alex's mother is too full of herself, to be a good mother to him. I wish I was a millionare. I'd adopt him, in a heartbeat. Some women should not be allowed to have sex.
I have to say that I DO sympathize with her. She is probably depressed and feels alone,and hopeless in trying to care for this child. I'm sure that she feels like things are harder for him because of the handicap, and that he's going to be judged and limited by it. Trying to care for a handicapped child can be very frustrating and I'm sure she just has care-giver strain. She needs help and resources for this child so that he can assimilate to this world, and she can be a better mother to him.
Caring for disabled children can be very HARD, it can dissolve marriages, create loads of stress and burn out for the care giver. Maybe social services SHOULD get involved, at least to get Alex the care he needs, or maybe find a nursing service that provides relief care, and they could teach her how to handle situations more effectively. In addition, I think the mother should see a psychiatrist to treat any possible depression and anxiety that keep her from being able to care for her son.
Most Autistic and Down's children are usually very sweet. Maybe the mom could join a support group with other women in the same situation so she doesn't feel alone. There are resources out there to help her with this, she doesn't have to be alone in this. |
