Finding the Truth: Why My Three Children Have a Disability
()
About this ebook
Margaret Brown, a public school teacher and the mother of three children, each having a different disability, has an unique story to share. It begins with Lauren, her oldest, having a central auditory processing disorder and later being misdiagnosed as having a bipolar disorder. Margaret's life becomes even more challenging when her second-child Andrew has cerebral palsy and pervasive development disorder (autism). Then later, she gives birth to Katie, who has juvenile glaucoma and photophobia (not dyslexia). All three of her children were either labeled as being a slow-learner or mentally-challenged. In addition, her children were falsely-labeled as having ADHD. In her book, she describes her roller coaster ride in helping her children to overcome the obstacles in learning to live with a disability, the labeling that goes with it, and their ability to succeed beyond society's expectations, from a change in their diet and a belief in themselves. All three children graduated from a public university with honors.
Margaret Brown
K.K.'s story is about how she was mislabeled as being a slow learner, while it was believed she had dyslexia. It wasn't until she was in middle school before she was diagnosed as having, 'photophobia,' a condition caused by the eye, itself. Photophobia is caused by the aqueous humour in the eye. The aqueous humour is a fluid at the front of the eye, which helps to maintain the shape of the eye. Light passes through this fluid on its way to the retina. The shape of the eye can determine eye fatigue, such as handling glare from a computer, dealing with lighting conditions, which can distort what one sees, as well as having difficulties with organizational issues, such as not seeing items that may be directly in full view.
