Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Is anyone else receiving posts like this? I cut and pasted a portion of Loree's post below. I have an 82 year old aunt that always uses a comma in place of an apostrophe...although I believe she just hasn't discovered the key next to her " enter " key that would provide her with the missing apostrophe...:-) I'm pretty sure Loree doesn't suffer from the same confusion! Just wondering if it's just my computer... Karla in Texas In reading your article? " ?Male Hormone? in womb linked to autistic traits:study " ? you allude to the fact that children with Down Syndrome have no talents.? I am appalled by by this implication.? I have an eight year old son with Down Syndrome.? He is chosen, adopted.? I have biological children also so I want you to know that this was a? conscious and joyous decsion to have this child.? Our Micah is the light of all of our lives.? He has many talents one of which is bringing laughter and smiles to everyone he meets. He is reading, writing and learning, albeit at a slower rate than his peers, but exactly what makes up a talented individual?? Is it one whose dreams and aspirations are loftier?? One who motivates others through his knowledge and presence?? One who brings joy through his God given gifts?? My son has lofty dreams..he dreams at eight years old of playing on the soccer field and making friends.? Does any other 8 year old have loftier dreams.? He motivates others everyday through his knowledge and presence.? Knowledge of what you say.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
