As most of u know my dd has cp

We went out shopping amd dd started haveing spasms in her legs in ikea. (the cold weather i think)

When this happens she starts screaming and wriggling about all i can do it just talk calmly and rub her legs (getting her out the pushchair makes her worst seems so g ostiff compleatly)

So here i am as calm as i can sitting on the floor rubbing her legs

When this woman who'd been staring at me came over and said " it's obvious the child wants to get out the pushchair and walk - or will that be to inconvient to spoil your shopping time
after explaining dd has cp - she called me a liar as it obvious when u look at dd there's nothing wrong.

i didn't know what to say i manged to calm dd down and just walked out and came home.

Is this what i can except for society everytime she has a spasm

BLU That's a great idea!!! That's what i LOVE about mumsnet...... everyones KNOWS what WE all have to ENDURE from ONLOOKERS......! My DS1 even said once ' i wish i had a wheelchair'- i asked him why - he said it was because people don't believe he has Autism. And that was when he was only 8... but now thanks to 'Freaks Geaks ans Aspergers' by Luke jackson....he's at 10 beiginning to 'enjoy' his uniqueness!
He REALLY made me smile the other day when i 'forgot' the 'not understanding sarcasm' bit .... it was the other day when when i noticed only DS1 and 2 eating and no NT ds3.....neither of the older boys had even noticed that ds3 was not there... i'd even askeed ds1 to call ds3 etc....anyhow the bit that i smiled inwardly at was his reply to my saying "THANKS FOR CALLING DS3 DOWN FOR HIS DINNER'-really labouring the THANKS.... to which he replied "But i didn't"!!!!
