Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Heidi, I don't disagree with you there! My example of giftedness was in reference to my daughter whom we've had to move to a different school that could better address her needs and challenges. My use of 'afflicted' and 'suffering' in light of giftedness was solely to make a point for Gretchen's editor -- a normal, non-disabled individual -- hoping to give an example of something normally viewed as positive in the world, using the terms 'afflicted' and 'suffering' to help a non-disabled individual see why some persons with disabilities may not want to been viewed as 'afflicted' and 'suffering'. Not meant to offend in any way Quote
