where parents of kids with special needs connect

Hi Steph & welcome to Hopeful Parents!
I'm Diane, mom to 32-weeker Evan who's now 10 and in fourth grade. His issues include hypotonia, hyperflexible joints, global dyspraxia, and some form of high functioning autism.
You certainly sound like you have your hands full having three little ones with varying diagnoses, and I can understand you wanting to take your frustrations out on the unsuspecting general public. :) You might consider using the opportunity to educate them about the dangers of high fevers and ear infections. They're just curious and don't know what to ask, so they ask the first idiotic thing that comes to mind, because most people aren't used to seeing a hearing aid on a preschooler. Evan signed almost exclusively for over a year, and I know I got some strange looks, because he obviously could hear me just fine.
I'm glad you joined us and I hope you find the support you're looking for.
Diane.
