I have Epilepsy. The sizures were not under controle untill I was35. My daughter had autisum, C,P. ceribal paulsey, scoileses, and a fused hip. She spent 3 years in a crippled childerns hospital. When her father threw her out in the street I took her in. I made her go to college. Only 1 class a term. That was where she found her nitch. She was soon invited to join the Houner Scocity. It was all A's and B's. She graduated with hounors. She was a published author, she had writen her own childrens book "The Old House" She died at the age of 48. The doctors told me she would not live to be 35. So much for praticeing medicne.
When I meet someone with a disabiled child I tell them about Suzyn. I tell them "NRVER GIVE UP. Who cares what you cannot do. Focuse on what you can do! AND Never Give UP!!
Suzyn znd I are Proof YES WE CAN!!!

I want to read that book. I belong to GoodReads and have been trying to win it. What you said rang true for me. I have Mild Cognitive Impairment and the last time I saw my dermatologist PA, he talked down to me, almo st baby talk. It made me upset. I have to wtite instruction s down to remember them but I have 3 college degrees and I do not talk in baby talk. I was so upset that I did not say anything but I plan to on the nect appointment.
