I don't have a physically disabled child. But he does have issues -neuro/pysc.

He does have some physical limitations, but they aren't immediately visable. He is 8 years old and cannot ride a bike. He cannot ride a bike because his hips and knees are turned opposite of normal from w sitting. When trying to peddle, his knees hit over the bar, he can't maintain balance. Tons of kids have picked on him and asked why.

But my son asks me questions when he sees kid like yours, or he would ask you as their mom. What happened to his/her legs? Can they fix it? Because we belong to a skating group for the disabled, he knows a lot of kids who are differently abled and just tries to understand. His 2 best friends from that group are Paige who has CP and is wheelchair bound and Grace who is non-verbal autistic. He adores them both.

But strangers can be just plain stupid. I had a woman withness my son during a high anxiety moment of bouncing around, talking loudly, etc. and ask me if I ever though of drugging him? HUH?

I would like to say that my son and your's would be best buds, but he'd be after your daughter! He's loving girls right now! But he might get together with your little one to help torment your daughter!
