Silly Comment
I have just learnt that my son has received a statement.He has immature gross and fine motor,issues periporecetion,language difficulties etc.ED Psych said Dyspraxia but has other issues hence no one diagnosis.
Found the comments very distressing.Is the person an expert?When a child is born with a disability you ask what have I done wrong? Family members may somehow blame you.You go to a very low place without silly comments like that.I even saw a priest.There was some suggestion of exposure to the otherwise harmless CMV virus in my sons case. I had my child when I was 38.People who are older lose their protection against this common virus and their second child is exposed to it in the womb in nurseries,playgrounds etc.
