Inspirational Awareness Video

http://www.ypierre.com

My son, Zyon was diagnosed with Down syndrome (T21) after birth.

We were told by a doctor...
"don't get your hopes up high you'll be luck if he can tie his shoes..."
"he will not be a contribution to society..."
"I am sorry this happened to you..."
"next time we can test you early enough to abort."

Wow, OMG, I was shocked. I thought, "you do realize you're talking about a human being?" I was more hurt by what the doctor said versus Zyon's diagnoses.

When I tell God-fearing people that Zyon has DS, I often receive the sad look following by "I'm sorry this happened to you... are you okay?"

The message in this video is that we are ALL God's children, not just those who are considered "normal." Of course we want our children to be health; however, DS does not mean that they will NOT be healthy. On the other hand, not having DS does not mean the child WILL be healthy.

We all imperfect! Children with disabilities are God's children too.

Of course, it's a challenge having a child with special needs; however, parenting is a challenge. I have two boys one with DS and one without, it's not that much of a difference.

Is it wrong that I feel happy that my son was born WITHOUT Down Syndrome? No, it is not. I am glad he does not have Down's. I will teach him to respect and protect those who do have Down Syndrome, all the days of his life. His ass is grass if he disrespects Down Syndrome kids. I want him to meet as many Down Syndrome, Aspergers, or otherwise "abnormal" peers as possible, so that he can see the entire variety of the human race and be taught to respect them.
