mental retardation when they seem to be not to know a thing about it.

It was completely different than my experience with living with my daughter.

And I realized then that I had to start writing about Sessha.

Uh and I had to start uh informing informing these folks of what the phenomenon they had thought they were talking about was really about.

So my my first stab at this was when I was invited by Sally Ruddick, who wrote this great book.

maternal thinking, very much in line with the title of your podcast, to to write a paper about mothering

uh in non typical circumstances non t typical children.

And I sat down and I started write about Sasha.

I didn't know I was going to write a philosophy paper about this.

But I just sat down and then it was all poured out of me.

It was virtually bad.

What you read is virtually the same thing that I sat down first strapped in to write.

I I just didn't worry about whether or not it was philosophy and I s said to Sally,

I'm I'm afraid it's not my happy philosophy and she said, Don't worry Eva, you think, you feel philosophically.

The the next time I started writing about the issue was when I was invited to a bioethics workshop at the Hastings Institute.

And uh it was on prenatal testing and selective abortion.

I was one of uh just a few parents there.

There weren't too many, but I was the only parent.

who didn't feel strongly against uh selection.
