There's always going to be one negative person in every room you walk into no matter where you are in the world...don't let this person get to you. I think people say stupid things to make themselves feel better, and hey, you probably do not even know THIS person well anyway (and certainly they wouldn't know your great daughter) so consider that comment null and void and concentrate on the better aspects of the support group! Just my 2 cents but it is heartfelt!! :0) Tara Maybe one more try??

I do not know your circumstances, but i have a son (grown now and doing excellent) with Tourettes Syndrome. The support groups were great for getting info on educational benefits, fighting the system, etc...but as far as understanding people with the same goals as mine, these things we did not really share. I did my best to raise my son aware of his disability but also to be aware of all the consequences of his behaviour. i tried to teach him coping stategies. if you tic badly people will be cruel. they will make fun of you. these are realities. they are not right, they are not fair, but they are true. he (we) worked on strategies to make his life work for him and for him to never be the victim. it was a long hard road....... follow your heart....don't give up ....... i will keep you and amber in my prayers during this difficult time.
