Yet I would be true to say that any loving and caring parent instinctively knows the desires and the needs of his or her child, normal or disabled. And yes my son cannot indicate he desires sexual stimulation from me. He cannot indicate whether he would like a walk in the park and feel the cool breeze on his face and he cannot indicate which ice cream flavour he enjoys the most. He cannot indicate if he is tired sleeping on one side of the bed, nor can he indicate if he is lonely. He cannot indicate if the pain he has is through a headache, toothache or constipation.
Nor can he indicate that he has soiled his diapers. My son cannot indicate his desire for food. This means that although he physically has a body of a 21 year old male his mental capacity is less than the IQ of a six month old baby. I have clearly stated in my article that my son suffers from severe cerebral palsy.
