I laughed and laughed - and then I cried!!! The self-righteous people in this world who have NO IDEA what our life is like. Wonder if they have ever been escorted off a plane? OR asked to leave a waiting room? Or had their lives so narrowed that it seems to be a prison. Well, never mind those people.>> Hi, Everyone....Sara....I saw the same and also a TV blurb about giving 'normal' kids psychotropic drugs to decrease antisocial behaviors....Risperdal, SSRI's, etc. Well....if they have antisocial behaviors, then they aren't 'normal' kids!!! You are so right....let them walk a day in our shoes!!! Gareth's Dr is the one who recommended we give him Benadryl (years ago) to get him to sleep 5-6 hrs straight at night. It was for MY sanity!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote

Kids HAVE to sleep too....not just the parents. Sherry Quote
