Thanks for the reports about this thread. We've removed a number of posts that we felt were inflammatory and in breach of our Talk Guidelines.

We're also posting a link to our This Is My Child Campaign and would like to highlight our page challenging the myth that language about special needs doesn't matter.

Please consider the challenges many parents of children with disabilities, or who have disabilities themselves, face on a daily basis.

Mumsnet exists to make parent's lives easier and if there's one thing we could all do with, it's some understanding and moral support. Flowers
