Re: If you have MDS.. [casey's answers]

[Guest guest]

I do not have my license yet no.

 

I'm currently unnemployed, but I never stop looking. I'm always looking it

seems! ICK.

I do live independently. And, I love it!

 

I am not married, no. I'm divorced. [that was the biggest obstacle of my life]

 

I'm not entuirely sure what you mean about qualifications, on finishing school.,

It took my IEP for me finish highschool, I was 22. And have accomodations for my

college classes. [Does that answer your question]

 

And yes, I was petrified before Ronin was born. To having a child! I didn't want

any baby have to undure what I had to, as a baby.

 

I dont know if this is an obsticle, but I choose to inform people If I know them

well enough, or my emotions doesn't get to insulted that I have Mosaic Down

Syndrome or not. It is something of a gaurd for me. If I dont fully trust this

person, or people. I wont share a thing. And they'll view me as a normal typical

guy. I'm high functioning, and have been doing this way for years, it helps me

know who's lying to me or not. So, it for me is a usefull tool. Plus, having

others think you're stupider than you look is even funner, when I retort back

with my wit! I love putting people in thier place with that one. I'm very smart,

so is jennifer Katz, and Tim Colvin, Becuase of everyone here in and around the

IMDSA I consider this my real family. So, I share with everyone.

 

** If you want to talk to me, personally louise, let me know. I'd love to help!.

[i hope that did help]

...Im interested to learn about the people with MDS, as my daughter is 11, Im

wondering what the future holds for her. If anyone could answer these questions

I would be greatful:

Does anyone with MDS have a driver licence for example?

Do you have a job and how do you find working?

Do you live independantly?

Are you married?

Did you finish school with any qualifications?

I saw that Casey has a son, thats great! Did having MDS worry you about having

children of your own?

What day to day obstacles do you face which other people without MDS may find

easier?

I know that even kids without MDS may face obstacles and may not get a job/drive

etc but Im just trying to guage my hopes for my own daughter, if that make

sense?!

Thanks
