Yes, but you know, that anyone can be rejected for any number of reasons, not just disabilities, and I happen to think that parents of kids with disabilities tend to overprotect their kids from rejections and the real world; they need to learn how to cope with such things. My parents never tried to protect me like that and I am profoundly grateful to them. I honestly don't think I'd have been able to function as well as I have on my own if they had coddled me. Now, having said that, I do concede that you are Case's guardian and you know what's best for him - only you or his parents know how he can handle things like this.

Is it wrong to let him know there are jobs as announcers, coaches, and not just as players? I have kept quiet about this so far to him. He practices basketball all the time and can actually dribble and catch rebounds now although I don't see how he does it he is so twisted up in his feet in the moment.
