I wanted to reply to some of Julie's hump day posts but don't want to muddy up my son's story.

Her latest is on political correctness. I mostly agree with her except for some terms that are now used to be derogatory to some people.

Someone in her comments mentioned her friend not wanting to be described at "diabetic". Well, I am not a fan of describing my son as autistic. I prefer saying that he has autism. We don't say that someone is "cancerous" or "canceric". We use that they have cancer. They are not all about cancer. Well neither is my son. He is not JUST about having autism. He is a more a typical child than he is not. I am guessing that people with diabetes feel the same way.
