What do you think the biggest problem is for kids with special needs?

Jane McCready, on her blog article, “The biggest problems for parents of a child with special needs?” states that other people are.  She states that she and especially her 10 year old son are sometimes stared at as if “…he were a circus freak.”  Her son has severe autism and learning disabilities.  Yes, I’m sure he may not be like other kids but I’m also sure he’s a person worthy of all the respect any other child would be treated with.  She looks at how most parents look at her.  She realizes that they have no idea about the love, sacrifice and commitment a special needs child takes.   They have no idea of the financial commitment—the therapists, the tutors, the doctors, the medicines or the patience it takes to raise a special needs child.  I know I have a heart for children with special needs but I can’t imagine ANY sane adult treating ANY child in anyway other than with complete respect and understanding.  I see them at my church.  I see them at the mall.  I see them at school.  I see them everywhere.  I know that ALL of them are worthy of my most fervent kindness and that their parents are the true heroes on the earth.
