When I first read about the comment regarding autism, I thought, "How ignorant!"

But then I thought of parents of special needs children. Parenting is a tough job. PERIOD! It is made even tougher when a parent is dealing with a special needs child, especially children who have no physical signs that call attention to their disability.

To have someone who has a public forum, radio, TV, newspaper column, etc., spout off about something they obviously know nothing about, is inexcusable!

I will pray that people who cause so much pain with their words, be shown how and why their ignorant words hurt! May there ignorant eyes be opened!

(And working in the field, I ask that they also be shown the special love a child who has disabilities can give.... )
