Ok, I admit that is Emily's nickname. Yes I have a child named Emily.

Once again today when the diagnostic center folks were here they were asking about sibs and Emily was overlooked yet AGAIN. You mean he has 2 sisters.

YES PEOPLE I HAVE ONE TYPICAL CHILD!!!!!

Every time I am in a meeting with SpEd people or something similar and her name comes up it is the same. Oh Renee, she is the one I never met. I forgot you had a typical child. Or You have 4 children? You have another child?

POOR THING! And I always talk about her. Everyone in special ed knows my other 3 it seems (can you say squeaky wheel) but it is only those in teh mainstream education section that remember poor Em's like the principal. And this kid is forever getting kudo's, student of the month, best behavior awards, etc. LOL.

Well Mike's teacher and aide know here but other wise forget it, lol.

Ok, just had to rant.

oh, poor kid! In one way it's great that she's not on the radar but not so nice for her that she isn't remembered by others as part of your family! Also stinks that they don't realize that you have an NT kiddo!
