From Readers:
​
“I have been SO enjoying your articles, the Good Housekeeping piece about staring, the “Glass Child” one almost made me cry. As someone with multiple disabilities myself I really relate to so much of what you’re talking about, and it’s incredibly refreshing to read a parents’ perspective that is healthy, disability-positive and inclusive of everyone involved. Kudos to you!!”

“ Your CNN article has a wonderful balance between your lived experience as a parent and what you might advise friends whose children are going through a lot. I have a neurotypical daughter who is now 22 and a neurodivergent son who is 25. I lost patience with people saying they can’t imagine ever doing it (life=lemons, you step up) or offering assistance and not following through. You got across a sense of needing the understanding, not empty platitudes, of others.”
