I'm not familiar with the noonan syndrome, but the other I've heard about.  I have a hearing disability and I used to be made fun of my whole life til I turned the whole thing around and laughed at myself and made jokes about it, which boosted my self esteem, made me a better person, not judgemental of other's and I made more friends laughing at myself than anything.  You have got to stop letting it "own" your life and start "owning your own" life here.  Keep that chin up, make a joke about yourself, believe it or not, you will feel much better.\nM.

The last thing, i think you should do is do the same thing. They are going to think they can keep doing it. When someone tries to pass it off as a joke, you calmly and directly say, Why are you insulting me? They will say "I am only kidding." That is when you say and not in a sarcastic tone, or pissed tone, in a calm and direct way, look them in the eyes and say,\nI find that insulting and not funny. In the future i would appreciate you not speaking to me that way." and smile. \nWhen you approach people in this way you are setting the tone on how you want to be treated. If you respond to them in the same way they spoke to you you will never really solve anything because they will know they can do it again.  When you respond in a direct, assertive way there is no grey area, they will know they shouldn't talk to you that way. If they do it again, resume the same non aggressive, direct approach, calmly and politely say, Did you forget what I told you earlier? Please don't speak to me that way. Don't worry about what they will think about what you have said to them if they were kinder people they wouldn't treat you like this in the first place. You are doing this for yourself so you don't have to think over and over afterward what should i have said that would have been better.  I use this approach and it works for me.

Actually, i'd rather someone told me. So, what you are doing is simply trying to help me and you're also considering my goodness.. What's better than this? On the other side, yeah i may become a little bit angry with myself, saying like how can i forget or ignore this.. But, certainly i'd appreciate you then.. :) So, keep it up, be yourself and don't pay attention to their reactions at that time, i think...

I have learned that people do genuinely care about what I think, and I have learned that I am not the only one with a disability.  Thanks for this question.  God bless!

lower realm people tend to take their frustrations out on the innocent, it relieves their stress and makes them feel powerful. I am a cashier so this happens daily. The important thing for to do is realize that it has nothing to do with you at all. It is their shortcomings and downright patheticness (is that a word? LOL) that causes them to do it. You are way above that. Try to find humor in it and laugh it off. Hard to do, I know. Keep your chin up!

Get a speech therapist. If you're still in school, ask your school about it, many provide them for free under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Association). If you are an adult, try to find one online. They will be able to help. I promise. Good luck!

If you really want to keep it secret, don't tell. Don't be afraid of them teasing you unless their intentions are mean. You must be able to laugh at yourself.

I WAS WITH YOU UNTIL YOU STARTED MAKING JOKES ABOUT SOMEONE THAT HAS NO CONTROL OF THE SITUATION THEIR IN. THANK GOD FOR THEIR COURAGE TO TRY AND LEAD NORMAL LIVES AND IN THE SAME PRAYER, PRAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU. YOU SHOULD BE SHAME OF YOURSELF.

just try to remain calm and stay away from it as much as possible, if certain people are doing things that you find frustrating tell them about it, they may not know and it may do some good to get how you feel about it out in the open so that they can correct what is frustrating you so much...

don't worry babe your doing things right, it's just that people are insanely jealous of your intellect...way to go!!

If you feel as though people are not 'giving you a chance' b/c you are disabled, that is discrimination and you can sue for that. Also, try Wal-Mart. I don't know about your disability, but Wal-Mart and other grocery stores are pretty good at hiring disabled people. Good luck to you and your husband.

Try to ignore them as much as possible...even if it is a friend.  They are just jealous of your happiness.  You know that you deserve to be happy and no one should come in the way of that.

Try not to listen to what they say and ignore their comments as much as you can. The less you talk and act like you have time for them, then the more they will get the picture. Set an example for them on how one should be. They just might learn something from you indirectly.

Ignore them.  Instead, concentrate on yourself.  Emphasize your strengths and strive to improve where you have room for it.  Don't base your opinion of yourself on idiots flaunting themselves.

Don't let them get you down in the first place. \n\nIt's none of your business what people think of you.
