      ​@@chriswhite9134 you are talking as if the Sophie meant nothing to the bride. If my sister wears a beautiful dress on my birthday, I would be so proud and filled with pride that I have a beautiful sister with good fashion sense. Walking down the aisle will only take a couple of minutes and it's not going to take away the whole attention from the bride. If anything it's going to make the ceremony more precious and show how amazing person the bride is. Weddings are not only about the bride, groom or pretty things. It's about being together as a family. The bride and groom's children are included in the family. Other children will have a higher chance of getting married than Soph and don't pretend you don't understand it. Only in western culture, you guys have this notion of guests taking attention away from the bride. At a desi wedding, the entire guests could wear red sarees or lehengas but no one will ever take the spotlight from the bride. Why are you so worried if the guests talk about how pretty the flower girl dress is?

      It’s not just about that though. Even if she did find someone she’s unlikely to walk down the aisle herself. There is the legal issue of consent to marriage most people with learning disabilities will not be permitted to marry because they cannot understand the implications of marriage and are often found to lack the capacity to consent to marriage. Dad was spot on with what he said, he did the right thing and she got to go down the aisle with her dad

      ​@@lanabmc3519doesn't mean they couldn't have the ceremony. In the grand scheme of things the paperwork is what makes you married in the eyes of the law. So if she did find someone she could still do the whole shebang assuming that something she'd want to do.
      I've only come across these guys a couple times so I'm not super well versed in her specific disability but I don't know that this is anything she's going to grow and "mature" out of. It can definitely improve and she can learn with lots of love and care but I think she's always going to need a caretaker close by to in the very least to just check in and help when there's a problem and that's ok. Maybe she will meet someone some day to be in a romantic relationship. If not tho they'll know they have this memory and hopefully many more to come.

      @@Ali_D_Kattthanks for this. I think we as a whole need to find the balance with disability. So often people are discounted immediately for what they can achieve. We have to find some middle ground where we understand the average ability of what is expected within the abilities of any given condition and the possibility that they can achieve more than that. It’s so valid to have an understanding and expectation of what life will be with a child with disability but we can not put them in a box and limit to what level we allow them to grow

Not just for a wedding but even in supported accommodation or assisted living placements where young adults with learning disabilities are often placed relationships are discouraged and even actively prevented. It’s not just as simple as finding someone like it would be for you or I. It was meant to maybe shed a bit of light on the subject her dad was talking about.

      That depends on her passing the mental evaluation. If she's stuck as a 10 year old she won't be available to understand s£x & will legally not be allowed to marry as it would be considered a form of r&p. You don't have to worry. If she does fail she won't be interested in that either way. There's long term care facilities her parents can send her to when they can't take care of her so she should still be fine without a husband.

    I’m not a parent but my beloved niece is special needs. She will not outlive her parents. But we treat everyday as a beautiful one. She was my flower girl at my wedding, so she picked the dress that made her feel happy to wear.
    My brother walked her down the aisle. She was beautiful and she was so comfortable walking down the isle in her princess dress with her walker. She is only 3 and she was so strong and determined to make it to the front.
    Her (I’m not going to call it a disease. She has a very rare syndrome. It affects the mind and body) beautiful happy face looking around and just being content with being the centre of loving attention just brought all of us to,tears with joy.
    To this day I do not label her as what she was diagnosed with. She is growing and getting stronger every day. Who knows what the future may hold.

    Most of my life I was miserable, thinking marriage was the key to my happiness. Once I finally figured out how to unlearn that toxic belief, I've had the best life ever! The depth of my reach in the world... my passion, and love for life... is SO beautiful. I used to think marriage would fulfill me and give me value. I'm so lucky to unlearn this while I still have some life left to live.
    Also,
    Please don't ever assume someone with disabilities will be unlovable. It may take you a lifetime with your daughter to understand this, but she is loveable to people who aren't just her parents.
    I hope this message gets to the people who need to hear this right now.

    The older sibling of special needs kids are so good to them sometimes. My kids are like this and I’m certain my older child would be happy to share the spotlight with their younger sibling. I have witnessed them give up their moment just to make the younger one ore comfortable and happy. It’s such a pure type of love and sacrifice and it’s so beautiful to see it.

    Do not let anyone put limitations on your child.
    My son is autistic.
    I was told he would eventually loose eye contact, become mute, never go to school, never graduate, never move out and never marry....
    I am proud to say my son is now 32, hes educated, married and has lived independently since 20 years of age.
    His wife is studying to be a doctor....
    Had i listened to the doctors and kept him at home instead of sending gim to school and off to college- im not sure where he would be today.
    I eill pray for your daughter, that she finds her purpose and spreads her wings! ❤

      Limitations exist for some people. That doesn't make them less deserving of a life or love but it is the reality for some people.
      It is my reality that I have a number of limitations due to being disabled. I have limitations that are sometimes helped with accessibility tools- but not always. Having someone tell me that I can do "anything" if I just believe in myself doesn't help me to live the life that works best for me.

    • @c.a.greene8395
      @c.a.greene8395 9 місяців тому +1

      @timboukal7292 my son was born a month overdue.
      I had gestational diabetes, he was the largest live birth in my province for some time.
      Just like my grandmother before me I have very large babies. My grandma holds the record for largest birth at 27 lbs, and all her children were a month overdue, which is common in my family.
      10 OBGYN were present at my sons birth.
      He has been followed all the days of his life by the new England medical journal ( something to do with an 'evolutionary leap forward' - can't remember the exact name of the study/ paper) My son was born normal.
      At the 18 months of age point he received his MMaR vaccine and within 24 hrs he had been hospitalized due to swelling in the brain and seizures.
      (He continued to have seizures regularly from this point forward till around his 6th birthday. )
      At 24 months the specialist told my husband and I to mourn our dreams for our son, as his life is going to be much different than the one we had dreamed or planned for him.
      He said our son will not go to a regular school, there would be no senior prom, no post secondary education, no wedding, wife or children in his future, that we must plan for him from cradle to the grave, as he will never leave home and will always need care as we wouldn't live forever.
      My son was normal until the MMaR vaccine fried his brain, after the shot he began to change.
      Gone was the loud rambunctious toddler who monkey toed his way up my cupboard and climbing everything in my house with confidence, gone was the child who could walk and talk in short sentences, gone was the child who potty trained himself months before his peers ( having 56 cousins who were frequent visitors due to their grandma needing care and living at my house my son had learned many things from the other children much faster than if he'd grown up with only adults around him ) gone was the laughing child who loved to be tickled and hugged, gone was the confident social butterfly who loved to play with his cousins when they visited, gone was my confident toddler afraid of nothing and in his place was a 3 year old who hid behind me whenever someone smiled at him ( animals bare their teeth, as a warning just before they bite and my son believed he was in danger )
      There were a great many things the doctors and specialists said to my husband and I about our son, that I would hope today would never be said to any parent....times have changed and we no longer blame parents for bringing handicapped children into the world but do not kid yourself, doctors though educated are people too and we all make mistakes, and please remember my son is in his 30's - the doctors who were his care team were all 50 to 60 years old back then - it was a very different time when they were educated compared to doctors today...

      @c.a.greene8395 9 місяців тому +1

      @davidottley2739 had we listened to the doctors my son wouldn't be where he is today.
      We would never moved 4,000 km to Victoria bc, we would have never enrolled him at the queen Alexandria hospital/ school for children with autism, we would have never enrolled him in the 'creeping' program which rewired his brain bringing my son back to me...we would never have the strength or the endurance to help our son achieve his goals...we wouldn't have even tried.

    When I was 14, the 11 year old girl next door was diagnosed with Leukemia. My older sister who baby sat her sometimes told me the girl had a huge crush on me. Had we both been ten years older I would definitely had asked her out. But being a 14 year old boy, the idea of asking out an 11 year old girl on a date was not appealing to me. But then I saw her in the back yard by herself crying. I lost it. I completely fell apart. It seems I was the last one to know the girl had a crush on me. I took a deep breath and went to her parents and asked for their permission to take her out on a date. They both said yes and made suggestions on how to make the date go well. I followed all their suggestions. For the next 11 months we went on dates weekly. We hung out in the back yard and when her parents wanted to go out I kept her company. My sister who was also the girl's confidant told me that the girl secretly harbored a fantasy that we would one day get married. I borrowed $300 from my parents and bought an engagement ring. I then formally asked her dad for permission to propose. In tears he gave me permission. At the hospital I got down on one knee with a ring in one hand and bouquet of flowers in the other hand and proposed to her. She squealed in delight and jumped up and down. Then we had our first kiss in front of everyone.
    Her mom took her dress shopping. Since she was bald from the treatments, I went to a wig maker to have a wig made. I got the measurements from her mom. But I was shocked to see the prices. So I found out they would give me a discount if I supplied the hair. So I left the wigmaker and went to the barber shop and told them to cut off my waist length blond hair I had been so proud of growing for I think 8 years, it was my signature look. And I had the barber cut it off close to my scalp to get as much hair as possible tied in a bundle. It was about two feet long. I took it to the wig maker sporting a very short hair style and now it was the wigmaker's turn to cry. I gave the wig to my fiancé's mother. We had to act fast as the doctor said she didn't have many days left to go.
    A horse drawn carriage arrived at the hospital to pick her up. I and the guests were waiting at the church two blocks away. She was walked down the aisle in a wheel chair wearing a white dress with a 10 foot train carried aloft by four of her male cousins. Her dad was pushing the wheel chair. I and m best friend were standing at the alter with the minister and the judge. The judge signed the paperwork granting permission for her to marry at 12. I was 15 by then.
    We had the ceremony and I could barely keep it together throughout. When the minister said I could kiss the bride we had our second kiss, in front of about 100 people. Afterwards we took the horse drawn carriage further down the street to a church auditorium where we had our reception and did all the things one does at a reception though she had a bucket next to her in case she needed to vomit. When we had our first dance together I picked her up out of the wheel chair and danced us around the room with her feet dangling. She wanted to be vertical for the dance. That evening her dad drove us down to a rented beach cottage.
    37 hours later she died in my arms on the wet sandy beach wearing her wedding gown watching the sun set married to the man she loved.
    I never wanted the distinction of being the youngest widower in state history. But I was proud to be her husband even if only for a couple of days. I was able to grant her a couple of additional wishes of a highly personal nature and will not disclose them here. I will say she died with a smile on her face.
    To this day I have only ever been married to one woman.

      And today in "Things that never happenend": The marriage that no judge would ever allow.
      Seriously, coercing someonw into a relationship is not cute or sweet. If there was an ounce of truth in this it would have been disgusting. In the end he did it because he felt sorry for her and because he wouldn't be with her long anyway. And whoever would allow a literal TEENAGER to take on that load shouldn't be allowed to be a parent. Oh here, y'know her dying wish is to date and marry you, but no pressure. Oh btw, we would be okay with it, but if you don't, nothing bad happens, but she will die and you didn't fulfill her greatest wish. What kind of idiot places that on a teenager?

      Yes, many different things effect each individual's outcome, because there are varying degrees of disability & levels of every illness, condition, disability that can effect outcomes, plus things like; whether they have two loving parents to be there for them, whether there are involved extended family members or not, or the child has no one who is always there to support them and help them reach their full potential. Whether there are adequate funds also greatly effects a child's potential development. That's because with adequate funding they can receive all the aids available to help them progress, all the teachers & educational & socialization opportunities, as well as the health & mental health help that's out there .What I've seen a lotis that children reach goals that others once doubted they'd achieve all the time and what matters most in that outcome was the love and care they consistently were given while growing up.

      @KathyHussey063 I don't mean to be rude but I don't really understand the purpose of your comment. I mean, I agree, but I guess I don't understand why this isn't a stand alone comment bc more people would see it that way
      Edit: maybe you're just sharing and I'm overthinking it lol

    That is so precious & sweet. When he said every girl deserves to walk down the aisle, I started crying even harder. When I got married, I had to do it in a courthouse. Why? Because my dad doesn't care about his only daughter, AND because his new wife, never had any kids, so for some sick and twisted reason she was jealous of me. And since it was HER 1st marriage at age 41, and you better believe THEY spent TONS of money on THAT wedding. My wedding? Not ONE penny. They didn't even attend. Why? My dad said, "He was tired." And this is ACTUALLY, me, painting him in a good light. I call him 'sperm donor,' now, because he never did deserve the title dad. He stole SO much from me. What I would have given to have had a dad who TRULY loved me. At least I know I have my REAL Father, my Heavenly Father, Who is the One TRULY responsible for me being here.❤

    Loving, caring father is such a gift beyond any price range. My father spent my childhood beating mother and drinking, I hope you all with good fathers understand how lucky you are, wish you and your fathers the best.
