A link to 'Welcome to Holland, by Emily Perl Kingsley:

<http://www.creativeparents.com/Holland.html>

and a description of it at:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Holland>

which has a song based on it.

Some parents of children with disabilities do not recognise this 
description of their reactions, so take care (as always!) ;-)
