And I thought being my daughters advocate when people say she isn't trying hard enough, she has an attitude, she's disrespectful (though she says it's because they disrespect her and treat her like she's ignoring them rather than she can't hear them) wasn't special...it's being her mom! I've about punched a teacher this year for setting her back by his attitude and reaction to her. <br /><br />I am told I'm amazing for standing up for my child...doesn't everyone? <br /><br />Because she didn't start losing her hearing until the third grade, and her speech and language skills are "normal" people forget she can't hear you behind her, the room noise can be deafening and she gets frustrated quickly. <br /><br />This is nothing compared to autism and what you deal with. I do get how hard I work to keep her going, her confidence in her ability to accomplish what she tries, only to have a teacher, stranger, friend or even family member in a moment of frustrated ignorance cause damage they will never understand! <br /><br />You are an amazing woman and I am proud to get to know you better! I am here...even if just to say it's been a day! <br /><br />Those calls and emails do wear us down! ;) <br /><br />You're a great mom, obvious by your continual fight to give them the best possible chance...I get that! I do that! I respect that! <br /><br />Hugs to your family...and especially Steve and Fred <3StalkerFanWendyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329205798238374884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262824217798704837.post-38151268500484749482013-12-07T16:54:50.669-05:002013-12-07T16:54:50.669-05:00Just like S.A.
