Well I'm happy, You truly can not know joy if you have not known sorrow. And I have known both. And wether you have epilepsy, diabetes, cerebral palsy the answer is always love.

I find few terms that really bother me but I do try and educate people. If someone says your an Epileptic I'll just say "well I have Epilepsy" and hope they get my point.
However, I find the word "fit" merciless. It sounds suggestive (to me) as though you have control of what is happening when you don't. It sounds so uncompassionate.
It is only grammar and they're only words but sometimes words do hurt. After an accident my dad was sent to a hospital out of state for 7 months so I tried to get a job to help maintain two households and when Epilepsy was mentioned the interviewer said "we don't hire cripples." That was over 40 yrs ago and something i've never been able to forget.
feel like saying nooooo hes gonna have a tantrum not a sezure! and how do u throw a fit anyway? lol grrrr
