When Oscar was diagnosed I thought it was a horrible joke.<br /><br />Lianna -- His school is incredible, but it was a tough road to get him there..along story I will write under a pseudonym someday.<br /><br />Elizabeth -- I haven't read Oliver Sacks but I looked up some of his work. Looks fascinating and I will HAVE to read his books. Thanks for the compliment!<br /><br />Louise -- I'm new to BLOOM and love it already.

I agre...I just found your blog and it's great!<br /><br />I agree about the food thing in our culture and the media -- it's all around us! Congrats on getting such an effective strategy in place (no hope, no doubt). It must be a constant challenge every time you step out the door.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing more about Oscar and your adventures. I hope you check the BLOOM blog out too.<br /><br />Cheers, LouiseBLOOM - Parenting Kids With Disabilitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901482901008135659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189835841507845518.post-26653923952716952652009-10-20T20:53:59.931-07:002009-10-20T20:53:59.931-07:00PWS is just the weirdest, most amazing disorder an...PWS is just the weirdest, most amazing disorder and I am grateful that a writer as good as you is educating me about it. I can't imagine how difficult it all is -- and how deeply psychological what with the basic mother/child/eat/food thing as well as how our whole culture is basically centered around food. Yikes. Have you ever read Oliver Sacks? His essays on neurology are really so outstanding -- yours carry the same weight -- the lack of judgment, the observational quality to it. I'm so glad you're writing, Mary.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189835841507845518.post-49398694503149281732009-10-20T13:27:59.226-07:002009-10-20T13:27:59.226-07:00After reading your post, I began to realize how hu...After reading your post, I began to realize how hung up on food our culture really is!<br /><br />I admire your ability to get Oscar's school on board, as well as the way you manage to keep Oscar's focus from food! That cannot be an easy thing to do...<br /><br />Your post made me realize how much I take for granted when it comes to food, and how fortunate I am to manage my appetite (or not).<br /><br />Kudos to you for doing such a great job for Oscar and your family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
