You are a parent, a therapist, a coach, a spiritual guide and nurse all in one.
You find yourself dividing the world into groups-as we humans often do-people who 'get' the vulnerability of the disabled, and people who don't.
Not surprisingly, I find the most support for the value and dignity of disabled lives on the right of the political and religious spectrum.
I believe that many, if not most leftists loathe disabled people and would be happy if they were all aborted before birth.
I try to keep plodding along, one step at a time with my special needs child. Some days are harder than others.
We all have our moments.
Here is a nice article celebrating the life of a disabled child-and seeing every day as a victory.
