My run was good therapy for me as I discovered that there was a breach of my kids' privacy from inquisitive (interested? nosy?) parents of kids that will be starting preschool next year. They noticed my son had a shadow and thought it appropriate to ask questions. Unfortunately they were answered. I am happy that I was notified immediately and it wasn't covered up. I don't know why I'm upset, maybe because unfortunately people with a disability don't seem entitled to any civil rights here in Australia. Anyway, as you can tell I'm still abit cross. Maybe its because I was told of their reactions when the big A was mentioned or that another mother asked T2 a question and when he didn't answer she apparently pulled a face and walked away. I feel so powerless when my kids aren't in my constant supervision. Anyway, deep breaths and a run helped today.
Its Friday - have a good one everyone!
How do you handle questions by parents about your kids diagnosis? Are you completely open or not? I'm still figuring it out.
