After 30 years of caring for our son with Autism, his pension is being reviewed. All the diagnosis information we have is not good enough for our govt and his paperwork has to be verified by a contractor to determine if the diagnosis is correct. What a kick in the guts for our family and the therapists and doctors who have supported him for 30 years. We could have been rorting the system all this time. I have considered suicide and taking my sons life only because I don't want us to live in such an uncaring world and I worry about what will happen to him when he does not ahve anyone to advocate for him (even read the letters from Centrelink) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-60126218968141581842017-02-09T16:45:46.380+11:002017-02-09T16:45:46.380+11:00Inspiration should be because of what/how a person...Inspiration should be because of what/how a person does something rather because their circumstances are challenging.

It makes me reflect about something I have thought a lot about : what makes certain people a source of inspiration to others ? I find Nelson Mandela absolutely inspirational, Nic Vujicic too, and Mrs Boeckx my history-teacher. I'm not particularly inspired by Bethany Hamilton, though I always wonder how anyone can remain upright on a surfing board - nor do I admire Husain Bolt because I don't care much about running. What I'm trying to say is : it's okay for anyone to inspire other people if "anyone" has done or said something really helpful, right ? whether they are disabled or not... I absolutely agree with you that doing ordinary things like shopping cannot qualify as "inspirational" just because you happen to do it in a wheelchair (though it can be challenging!) - but if you don't want to be considered a source of inspiration when you are writing blogs, winning olympic medals or giving pep-talks (with or without disabilities) then you should stay in bed, right ?! ... Anyway, that's how I feel about it! ikkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966871786821331805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-48061127551367914842017-02-06T04:55:52.455+11:002017-02-06T04:55:52.455+11:00This was a great, challenging read.

Older but not wiser.I was just going to look up the young girl playing the usherette if thats the word. Her expressiveness fot the lyrics were magical (better than the onscreen lovers) both herself and Daniel have a panlike innocence and purity which makes pain the more- can I say painful. A beautiful song I keep going back to. Just want to say I hate the way the press/tabloids are persecuting a beautiful man who loved creating music but never the fame associated with it. Like David Helfgott who played for their Emotion Sickness- its just not some geniuses temperments to withstand the pressure of scrutiny.# LEAVE DANIEL ALONE.<br />JustineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049108626552509927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-11690000991773803452017-01-11T09:48:03.888+11:002017-01-11T09:48:03.888+11:00Go girl!
