I don't need it for tiny lots but huge ones where my options are take him across a long distance and risk him running in front of a car and getting hit or use one of 20 open handicap spots? I think I need to contact my secretary of state. oh, and I’ve been debating getting a pass for my autistic son because he’s a flight risk who is rather large for his age (height wise, he’s lean, but still heavy).

I am not an expert on disabilities, but I have been learning these 3 1/2 years with my daughter that society is quite ignorant in what true disabilities really are. Although my kiddo qualifies for a handicap parking pass (even though she is only 3 years old!), we will never apply for one. There are too many other people that are truly handicapped that need to park closer. Her ‘handicap’ is that she is sweet, kind, loving, and full of joy. Hmmm, sounds like she is perfect, and the rest of us might be the ones who are not. Nonetheless, we enjoy the long walk from our car to the store as it keeps us healthy. It is very sad that in the year 2008, we still suffer from people who are simply ignorant in understanding what disabilities really are. I do believe we should consider them the disabled ones!</p> Being the mother of a daughter with Down syndrome, I am wondering whether this book does anyone any good, or is just another scheme money maker because of its controversial title.
