But really, what they are requesting is over the top (understatement!) and surely if a child has a chronic condition they should be able to find a way to note it in their system. Guaranteed, there's probably no coordinated computer system, sadly. <br /><br />I agree, you should try getting in touch with your rep. It might not hurt to send a copy of this post to the press office of the Dept of Transportation or whatever local agency is in charge of this.

I definitely can relate. We just finished a battle with my sons school. They were refusing to put him in a traditional kindergarten setting. I as his parent feel that he needed to be in this setting. I finally got tired of the run around and ended up hiring a lawyer. I know with the state you cant really do that, but as other issues arise I have found it definitely made a difference. Best decision we made, He is now is kindergarten! :O) <br /><br />Here is the link to the lawyer we used: http://csnlg.com/. <br /><br />The more support we have as parents the better for our children. <br /><br />Thank you again for your blog!Marcelahttp://csnlg.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675590510792979183.post-19482692365884868002013-03-13T10:32:36.942-04:002013-03-13T10:32:36.942-04:00My gosh.

Not so much unless the government is granting you a freaking car!<br /><br />I have a disabled transit pass for cheaper fare, and while it took some paperwork the first time (and let me tell you, it's pretty depressing to see a piece of paper with your name and the words "mental disability"...), since autism is permanent, when I renew--which is every THREE years--I pretty much have to check a box that says "I'm still alive".

In Illinois, the doctor just has to give a diagnosis and sign a form. The plate or placard comes in the mail and lasts 4yrs. <br /><br />Although mine is legit, with ease of of placards of plates issues there is widespread misuse. People lend it their freinds for free parking in Chicago or great parking spots at Amusement Parks. In rare circumstances, due to the ease of obtaining permits-people who have doctors as friends obtain them for themselves. (Per a Chicago News investigation a few years ago).<br /><br />That could be the reason you and others have to go thru so much red tape, though it seems like overkill. Hopefully over the years the DMV, will loosen the restrictions for long-termers.

We have a pretty good public transportation system, but we also have a para-transit system for people who are disabled enough that they can't use the public system. A friend of mine who is congenitally blind has to get a signed letter from her doctor EVERY YEAR!!! to say, yep, she's still blind! Apparently if you are missing a limb, you don't have to send it in every year because they don't think limbs will grow back, but blind people might suddenly become sighted.
