Just wanted to agree with everyone that your posts, opinions and comments are definitely worthwhile. Also I wanted to say that I can understand how "attacked" you might feel because I feel the same way at times with some posts and I'm not even LD!! I think we just have to remember that all these guys that complain, including Cemar!, are just processing a lot of pain which is bound to come out as anger at time.
Lou,
As far as the sensitivity thing, I think at the least you have 2 separate issues with BB. Sensitivity is one issue and the complaining and being a princess is another issue. Compare the light/sound/etc. sensitivity to something that seems more concrete to you - having an allergy maybe? Some people with allergies are quiet about them and just avoid what they are allergic to quietly. Others are more dramatic and vocal about their allergies and how "sensitive" everyone has to be about the allergy.
I happen to have some sensitivity to noise and other stuff. But I am not a princess about them. (Although I do occasionally whine to Raven when I'm in the airport feeling exhausted and just SICK and tired of the constant noise! I do apologize for my whinyness so am I forgiven??)
One of my friends got a Bible of all things from his grand parents when he was 6. We just looked at each other and said "how dumb," but that is how some 6 yr. old's think.
I don't remember anyone reading to or with me till I went to school so your situation is different.
Raven's son is 5, loves sports and cars and loves being read to and loves getting books from the school library. I think being read to definitely makes a difference.
I have the cloth washer finally going again (error codes frequently) so have to attend to that chore.
I sent an e-mail to a friend asking if she's aware of any electronic issues with the control panel front loading washers. Do you know the date code of the machine?
