It seems the late birth is linked to this kids list of diseases. I like the kid when he spoke about changing the term learning difficulty to learning difference. Lets create more vague terms to not offend anybody.

Quinn you sound wonderful.

She had her kid when she was 41. Did having a child at such a late age back then cause this problem?

First Joe Queenan and now this guy. I have to say listening to this kid is very inspiring not just to those who have a disability but to those who have the gift of health and no disabilities.

I ain't gonna complain about anything.

I am curious though:

1) Do you find yourself more motivated than those who are healthy?

2) Do you ever hear any of your non-disabled friends complain about their problems and feel like telling them to shut up?

i'm not fat, but... why are fat people automatically associated with being 'losers'? to hear this association/label pop-up in this sort of conversation about promoting tolerance a little messed-up.

this woman sounds absolutely cold and cruel...completely lacking in empathy...talking about her son in the third person in such a profoundly clinical and almost condescending way. "can't find his way out of a paper bag." wow, i'd be pretty furious at my mother if she talked about me like that with anyone, much less on the radio!

Who finally made the correct diagnosis?
