Welcome to Holland
This is old but someone sent it to me the other day.
It got me a little teary-eyed (dammit) and it sums it up pretty good I think.

Re: Welcome to Holland
I read up on the author of that and she has been a writer on Sesame Street since 1970 and had a kid with Downs Syndrome in the 70's, which she wrote this about. She was the inspiration behind the special needs kids and characters on the show.
