Your not a parent you don't know what it's like! Your not a parent, your not a parent! Do you need to be a parent to have common sense?

No, actually according to her post, she's raising a child with Down Syndrome, NOT a child with a dual diagnosis of DS and Autims together.  Kids with this dual diagnosis are not like raising the "typical" child with DS. (and they're all different, there really isn't a "one size fits all" category for kids who have DS) They are also not like "typical" kids on the autism spectrum either. It's a whole different ball of wax for both disability categories when you put them together.

I do have a life, apperantly a life that's not valid to you because it doesn't involve raising kids. I've been a child myself, and I know what it's like to feel terror and powerlessness in the face of adults. Oh, but that doesn't matter until I have kids right?

That's fine, as long as you don't automatically discount anything a non-parent has to say, as so many parents do.

      I feel that Dr.Phil you were too hard on her, and she was crying, but you still talked to her with the harsh tone, no compassion. You know he is an abuser and women beater, I want you to beat him up more and make him cry just like he made her cry when he slapped her!!!...

Sonya seems to have alot of issues going on.  She is a snob and her ideas about what is perfect  are absurd. All children are a gift from God and there is no such thing as "the perfect child".  She thinks she is helping her daughter but in reality  she is setting her up for alot of hard times.  Mommy won't always be there to bring her homework to her and she is going to be under the impression that she is superior to others.  When she gets out in the real world she will find alot of people who can do things better than she can and might be prettier or smarter or more accomplished.  A good parent prepares their children to face the world with confidence, a strong sense of self and gives them the basics of values, manners and compassion for others. Sonya in my opinion is not a great mother and is screwing up her daughter.  Annie may one day get tired of her mothers constant pushing and controlling behavior and just run for the hills. Annie seems like a great kid already, why can't Sonya just love her the way she is. Sony said she wasn't Annies friend, but when Annie moves away, get married, etc..being her friend might not look so bad.
