We do not hear many comments directly but, beneath the surface, you can feel the rumblings. I am certain that as I walk away from many conversations that there are conversations about our extreme situation. Some with empathy and others with hatefulness. I don’t fully understand though how my child’s disability is cause for such hatefulness. Read the below comment that I read yesterday in regards to a report that a few Canadian churches are going above and beyond to accommodate people with life-threatening allergies.
“Why does the vast majority of the human race have to adapt for the genetic weaklings?
If someone is so allergic that they cannot function in normal society, they should quite simply be institutionalized.
The simple threat of institutionalization would cure many of these allergy sufferers, whose ailment is mostly, if not entirely, in their minds.
I’m sorry, but a religious institutions should NEVER even CONSIDER giving up or changing their rituals for a select few.
And by the way, I am not religious at all. But I do wear aftershave, and will ALWAYS wear aftershave, despite what the nanny staters want me to do.”

Again, WHY is my child’s disability igniting such hatefulness in grown adults? How is serving gluten-free waffers and switching to less fragrant flowers any different then installing ramps and hand rails? It is no wonder that there is such a bullying epidemic among our nation’s children when the adults that are leading the way are not teaching empathy and acceptance.
