Do I Sound Like A Horrible Person ?

No matter if your kids have a disability or not, they are going to get picked on for one reason or another and you are going to cry about it. That is one of the hardest parts about being a parent. Letting your kids roam around in this cruel world we live in.0

As serious is Sirius Black.

Sadly from the tone of your post I don't feel you are ready to support and nurture a child. The language you use is shocking and deeply immature.
@sijomial Agreed. It's most likely due to her condition though. She has ACC which affects the brains' corpus callosum. Common social/behavioral characteristics include being socially immature, lack of self-awareness, inability to take the perspective of others, difficulty understanding and acting on social cues of others, etc.
Interesting - thank you. This place can be very educational.
To lighten the mood slightly....
One of the categories on the range of acceptance form, sandwiched between all the serious mental/physical/emotional/behavioral conditions and problems was "ginger hair" - which was a little mind blowing.
Gingers do get it rough don't they? Racism, sexism, disability discrimination etc. are all (rightly) frowned upon but ginger-bashing remains a favoured pastime. Then again, they don't have souls so who cares
(Just to be clear given the tone of this thread, I am joking. Only dogs have souls, so we're all in the same boat as the gingers.)0 -

Yup, my two fuzzy little douchecanoes get to observe the local wildlife from the picture windows.
OP - I get that you're being honest, and that you may have medical reasons for being less socially aware, but I don't think you come across as anyone who is ready to be a parent, whether to a special needs kid or not. If you can't see the irony in saying that the unfairness of the world would break your heart, then make horrible remarks about kids with physical disabilities, then you need some introspection.0 -
