Do you think parents of kids w/ "autism" (or other disabilities) tend to 'sell' their kids 'disability'?

  Well the Orlando Magic are the ones who want her to sing at their games....they consider her to be their "good luck charm". So in this case, I don't see it as the parents are selling her out. In general though, not just with autistic children, parents tend to push kids with talent out there. What makes the autistic kids such a big deal is that they happen to have an amazing talent despite their disabilities.

  OP, go thank your lucky stars you have healthy children and leave it at that. You should be ashamed.

  DISABILITY OR NOT , ALL KIDS SHOULD GET PRAISED FOR TALENTS ... DONT PRAISE ONE GROUP OF KIDS , AND NOT THE OTHERS!

  Well if you don't believe autism to be real come stay here for a month. I am sure my son would give you a quite convincing education. You are lucky to have kids that are "normal" and not have to deal with the stress, and possible threat of an autistic child the age of mine.

  Babysitting and living it are 2 totally different things. My son has hit the stage where he can become violent, and has a couple of times. He is stronger than anyone else in the house, and has hit puberty young. Tell my son who only dreams of being like the other kids and having friends that it doesn't exist.
