Stllman's post about teaching your grandson to advocate for himself is fantastic. I couldn't agree more. He needs to learn how to care for himself as he gets older, but he needs be able to stand up for himself.

That’s awful. Maybe it’s the difference in size of cities, there are approximately 250 Type 1 children in this area.
However I can’t believe, in a city the size of Calgary they don’t provide any support in the school system.
I definitely agree about teaching him to advocate for himself as well.
