To think the most severe disability is

[TheLadyEvenstar]

that of Ignorance??

And that there should be more help in place for people suffering from this?

Na, far too many people suffer from this affliction, more then those who don't so therefore those who do not have this are disabled as they are disadvantaged

Belle, yes but really we are the advantaged ones

From the title i thought for a split second that another anti-sn troll had posted.

Ignorance is very tragic!!

Genie, with a SN child of my own i wouldn't be anti.

only anti-ignorance

Well, legally, we are at a severe disadvantage as there's soooo few of us
Ignorance and lack of common sense are in the same group I think.

I think we should start our own political party and educate the ignorant!!!

TLE, I hadn't checked the name of the OP before reading the title.
But i recognize your name fom the sn board and i must say you gave some blooming good replies back to the trolls on the ADHD thread.

Lord Such tried to do this, remember the monster raving looney party? He was in fact a very sensible man :(

Belle yes i remember him.

Genie...I use my life experiences to reply to ignorant people...and always giggle to myself

OP - by ignorance do you mean uneducated, unaware or uninformed? Or do you really mean a different view point to yours?

Norweigian, no i don't mean a differnt point of view i mean truely ignorant people - so yes uneducated, unaware or uninformed and not willing to learn.

I don't know about it being a disabity but other people's ignorance is certainly our biggest problem.

I don't mind if people initially don't understand what's going on with ds1 when they come across him. I do comprehend that it's difficult for people to realise that a child who looks entirely 'normal' can have severe learning disabilities. And if after looking initially horrified they laugh or smile or say 'oh that's ok' then it's fine. But it's the twunts who continue to act as if he just needs a good talking to when I've explained that he's 11 and unable to speak and that he doesn't understand what they are saying that I would personally like to strangle. You would be surprised how many of them there are out there.
