I never liked labels for people.
I always thought labels were for jars!
Over the years, I have been able to deal with comments from strangers and lack of acceptance from people and family.
Recently, I've had to come to grips with Lauren being labeled by other parents of adult children with disabilities.

Hurts pretty bad....
What does "low" or "low functioning" really mean? No matter how you answer, it isn't good.
So, I decided that Lauren is going to be the color "green" like Kermit, her favorite Sesame Street character.
When you refer to Lauren and need a label, please call her "green".
