Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement. When we band together in empathy, there will be fewer Justins in the world.

I have two small kids, girls. They don’t have special needs – none that I am aware of yet anyway, and I pray this remains so. They give me trouble, they make me exhausted, I spend so much of my money of them, but I love them to bits. And when I think of how tiring it is to be a parent my hat is tipped to parents of children with special needs – whether it be a physical or mental disability. How people can assume that every disability, every challenge a child has, needs to be displayed in an obvious physical form, is so primitive. People have heart conditions or hearing problems that you simply cannot see. You won’t even know driving past someone that they might have a prosthetic leg!
So kudos to mama bear, and papa bear, for fighting for your kid, and for showing so much strength that you did so while still being an example to your daughter. Next time mama bear, you punch Justin in his ignorant face. Your daughter (and none of us) will judge you! I kinda hate Justin too!

I’m so sorry. It does suck. That’s why we all need to keep spreading awareness so the world’s empathy level increases! Glad we’re in it together!

Most days we visit the park we encounter people like Sonia, which is fantastic. I wasn’t wanting to blame the park as a whole for Justin not having empathy/understanding. So glad you met Sonia!!!!

A month ago, we visited this same park, and I had to explain my kids’ invisible disability to, in our case, Sonia (from Russia!) who was the most empathetic, gentle and understanding person we encountered on our trip. Two kids with the same invisible disability? No problem, let me help you guys out. I hope the Justins of the world learn a lesson or three from people like Sonia.

Places are starting to require proof because a few rotten apples are taking advantage of programs they do not need. It sucks. I shouldn’t have to prove that my daughter is disabled “enough” to require extra accommodations. I live near a children’s amusement park and in previous yrs we simply had to walk in to guest services and request the accessibility pass. My daughter uses a wheelchair at times especially long outings so walking in with her in her chair meant no questions asked. But they also did not question if you simply walked in and said your kid was ASD or even adhd and unable to wait in lines. Parents took advantage of this and used it for typical kids as a way to “cut line”. Sooooo starting this year they are requiring proof of disability. It sucks!
