Hello....Hello...is there anybody there???

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

LOL!! I sent it to my mother she is gonna love it!

I don't have enough numbers on my phone.

What is the number for anxiety disorders? Where is it? Why isn't
it there? What was that beep in the background? Why can't I hear
you? Do I have a tumor in my ear? What is this large growth on my
shoulders?

 

[TxChiknRanchers]

omgosh!!! What is the number for 911?

I'm sorry, but I really don't see how that could be funny. It's making fun of some serious disorders that people suffer deeply with. I have a form of autism...so I understand how someone who suffers from one of those disorders ( or has a loved one who suffers from one) would be deeply insulted by that.

 

[PurpleChicken]

Betsy, everyone has some of those conditions in some way or another.
Your signature line is very Christian so look at it this way. God gives us
all Crosses to bear and carry in our lives. He also gave us senses of humor
to laugh at our inadeqacies. No one is making fun of anyone here, except
ourselves.

 

[TxChiknRanchers]

I'm sorry........................... but there is no number for the complaint department!

Very well said, Purple Chcken.

I DO have a sense of humor, but I don't use it to make jokes of things that cause deep hurt and pain for people. I know you folks were laughing because because you sometimes deal with symptoms of those issues, not to make fun of people actually have them, but still if someone who has suffered deeply from one saw that, I could see how they'd feel hurt and insulted. I know I'd feel hurt and insulted if someone created a list like that of autistic symptoms...even if they meant it in fun at themselves, not at those of us on the autism spectrum.

Betsy,

I'm impressed at how well you write and deal with autism. Autism is a tough one,
something someone is born with and a lot more major than the conditions listed on this
thread. If someone made fun of autism, or anything like it, there would be a line
of people here ready to kill them and a line of moderators waiting to throw them off
the site. With the cases of autism out of control I am sure there are others here
who are dealing with it also. I was terrified to give our son the MMR vaccination
when he was a baby because of the reports of it being linked to autism.

Please don't think that I think you don't have a sense of humor. I'm sure you do.

Merry Christmas

Don
