Joan - I read with interest your comments about searching for the words to say to your daughter and the frustration she feels. She is probably frightened at what is happening to you and doesn't know how to handle it. Maybe you could devise a method of sign language which may or may not help. And as far as your son, maybe a hug or a pat would help him realize that you truly do care. Of course he may be at the age where a hug is embarrassing to him. My PWPSP says sometimes people just walk away from him, and sometimes they interrupt him as if he wasn't even talking. He say he tries to understand why they do it, but he is hurt deep inside for their lack of understanding. Then there are times when he searches for the right words and wants help, and he can't get it because others just don't know what to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You seem so young to have to go through this, and maybe someday the children will understand. Best wishes, Jo Ann from Houston
