We’re only a year and a half past Jonah’s diagnosis…

If I choose to acknowledge the ignorance I hear sometimes, my reaction to that ignorance is still ‘angry and defensive.’

I don’t always act on my reaction, however.

Most times, I ignore the ignorance I hear. It’s white noise to me.

But to any random ignorant person commenting on my child:

I hear your remarks. Every word. They are usually said when my child is acting out. I’d address you personally, but I am otherwise preoccupied (usually attending to my child).

Just so you know…I still get angry and defensive. Especially if my child hears your ignorant words.

But I simply don’t have time for you… or your opinion.

Just keep walking.

Yep. Feet moving. Mouth shut.

Thanks.
