another big sigh

I finished Choosing Naia last night.

It ended up depressing me more than helping. Probably because it wrapped up with this interview with Ashley Wolfe, and she's talking about how lonely she is. She's too high-functional for her peers with Ds to keep up with, yet too low for her non-disabled peers. And so it goes.

If Rainbow's got Ds, she could be as highly functioning as Ashley. And just as lonely. Or not. She could be the minority, the 10% that have severe retardation and problems.

Again - as always - I wonder what I'm getting into. We don't have a lot of money. We don't have a lot of family around to help. Sigh.

I'm pretty depressed.
