yeah same here. I'm happy and saddened at the same time lol. I'm glad that she is well behaved and people realize it but sad that this is something people would notice because it's such an oddity.

but really people stop by our table almost every time we are out to talk to hannah or to compliment her... she loves the attention though. HAHA one time this elderly couple were leaving the diner and they stopped to say hi to her and the elderly gentleman ended up singing a song for her. I can't remember what song it was... it was one of those old crooner songs. it was so sweet and hannah loved every moment of it lol

yeah I don't really understand having them in an activity every night of the week. when do they get to be kids? do homework? spend time with their friends and family? that being said... Hannah is enrolled in a dance class starting next week. one day a week for half an hour. she'll love it I think

As for the kids with disabilities... yes I would think people would be more understanding... HOWEVER autism was mentioned and in young children that can be very hard to see to the untrained eye unless it's a REALLY severe case
