The capital WE in wellness and the capital I in illness is a nice feel good piece of rhetoric that is, with all due respect, nothing but cosmetics and psychological pipe dreams. Sure it is true for typical people but not the atypical.

Sounds good but ignores the child who can not see you and ignores you. It ignores the child who does not hear you. It ignores the child who offers you nothing by way of love or help.

It takes an extraordinary healer to save a child so withdrawn into themselves that most people would not even attempt a connection.

Only rarely does a healer devote the energy to save a Helen Keller.

Or my son.
