In this episode, we are continuing our series "Dumb Things People Say" by talking about our feelings about receiving unsolicited medical advice from friends, family, and strangers. 

We are sharing stories about advice that we have received and that our friends on Instagram have experienced.  We talk about what not to say, how we actually want to be supported by those who want to be an advocate, and we give you some ideas as the parent of a disabled child of responses if you receive unwanted medical advice.
