Yeah I once watched a documentary about that. I was reminded of it last night but could not remember the name of the disorder.

Yeah I have thought about one day adopting/fostering disabled kids... Maybe I just want to because I want to feel needed. Or maybe it's just a mothering instinct?

does that mean I'm naïve? That I like to fantasize about things and want something different, never quite satisfied with what I have?

Mostly I fantasize about taking care of them... giving them meds, helping them to walk, sticking up for them when kids are cruel to them.... maybe I just wanna be the "adult" and looked up to because I was always treated like a kid who didn't really matter, growing up....
