This should be an email forward, but never will be!

I borrowed this from a blog I follow about another special needs boy.

You know you have a special needs child when...
* your kid's medical file is held inside several 3 ring binders
* the doctors at the ER know you by name
* friends don't ask you to watch their children - because they're afraid they'll have to return the favor!
* you're praying he has a brain tumor - because the anything else would be devastating

faux pas...
* being overly nice to my kid
* ignoring my kid
* treating my kid like there's nothing wrong
* Yes, that's right you CAN'T win!(Sorry, but I'm the crazy mom of a SNK - are you uncomfortable yet?)

the sunny side of having a SNK...
* a SNK is a bad-friend filter
* you get to take vacations to many big & exciting cities - like Detroit (Children's that is...)
* you truly appreciate every developmental milestone your child hits
* you begin to understand the essence of unconditional love - and strive to give it
