Famous parents with kids with SN

[ntt]

I can only think of 3 - Jordan, David Cameron and India Knight. Can anyone add to this list? I'm really curious and I'd like to know what sort of care and education they choose (presuming money's not a big problem)

Jo Whiley has a sister with a syndrome called cri du chat

Cappucino,Nik Kershaw?

Cecil Parkinson had a daughter with someone I can't remember and they have a daughter called Flora who has disabilities, not sure what though.

Cappucino..Nick Kershaw[lol].

Nik Kershaw... ooh it's all coming back now

the woman from ER who played Elizabeth has a disabled sister

Alex Kingston?

The bloke with the curly hair who plays the semi sadistic and funny doc on Scrubs has a child with DS and does masses of work for the American DS association

Lowris Turner has an autistic sister I think.

Did anyone hear David Cameron on Desert Island discs a few weeks back? He spoke about his eldest son who has epilepsy and CP. Sue Lawley asked IMO, some overly personal questions, including a couple of Qs about the risk of recurrence. I'd have bopped her one I think . It's on the beeb site if anyone's interested.

~Billy Connelly has a lovely daughter with learning difficulties. Cant remeber exactly what. I think she was low-functioning AS. I worked with her about 6 years ago in the US.

Neil Young has two sons with CP.

Sorry, ntt, I see you'd already posted about Neil Young - I am sure that in fact he has two sons, with different mothers, who have CP? One is very mildly affected, the other much more severely, I think.

I think its refreshing to read this !

why refreshing? Not having a go, just curious as to why its refreshing.

cos i think its too easy to look at 'famous' people and think 'life is so easy for them' ((Having a bad day feeling sorry for self ))

I think it's refreshing too and uplifting, makes me feel slightly more normal - like it can happen to anyone. Which it can.

and some people are less immune than others

What about Sophie Wessex? Have heard that is why we haven't seen their daughter in public...though clearly if it is true, they aren't taking a public stand.

Lol OJ

harry enfield has a child with sn. dont know the details.

If Sophie Wessex has a child with SN's what the f'ing hell is she hiding that fact away for??????? Be proud of your child, stand up, do something positive.

That's what I thought Thomcat - but haven't the royal family got a bit of a secret history of hiding this sort of thing?

Then they reallyt are wnakers and should fuck off.
I hope to God that's not the case, I hope they don't hide such a normal, nayutal thing away. Like it's shameful. Shameful is the rest of them and their seedy little lives. seedy is not having a child with SN's and should never be hidden, by anyone, ever.
So angry at the thouhgt that might be true.
