They Called Him Mongoloid by Julie Green PDF Summary

Book Description: Pregnant with her second child, Julie Green eagerly anticipated sharing the same joys she had with her first. But when little Fletcher was born, she discovered he was far different from her expectations. Nicknamed Fella, the newborn at first seemed only slightly affected, but as he grew doctors confirmed his dismal diagnosis. Family and friends shared condolences rather than congratulations. They Called Him Mongoloid is the candid first person account of one mother's journey from the joyful anticipation of a healthy new baby to the devastating reality that greets her instead. In 1965 Virginia, support groups were minimal, websites did not exist, and very little information was available to parents raising a child with Down syndrome. Many families institutionalized these children suffering from the condition still referred to as mongolism well into the 1980s. For Julie and her husband Fletcher, the challenge was not just caring for their developmentally disabled child but also confronting the prejudices of others, their families, and themselves. This emotional memoir tenderly portrays the grief of a mother through the most difficult parenting experiences.
