My dear friend had ALS. Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was tall, elegant, and used her handicapped parking tag. People often gave her dirty looks, or terrible notes on her car. Her drugs protocol allowed her to move some days, speak some days, swallow some days. To make assumptions about someone’s health challenge is cruel. There are two types of people: Those who take advantage because a$$holes are a fact of life, and those who pass judgment without facts. We can’t do anything about the first, but we can educate the second.
Seriously? Do you know medication necessary to save someone’s life can also cause weight gain? Depending on the chemotherapy protocol my friend was enduring, she either lost pounds a day or gained a Lot every day, no matter what she ate. Many medications do the same. To help you understand better, you could try wearing a “fat suit” and go about your day for a week or two. Good luck.
AP saved my daughter…required testing to be qualified to be included. From what you wrote she was fortunate that her middle and high school teachers understood about the learning differences in which you, and those students, need to succeed. I’m sorry you had a bad experience.
