Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I had a teachers aid over today to pick up some catalogs. Anyway, she works with handicapped kids. I asked her about them and she told me that they have things like Cerebral Palsy, MS, Downs, Autism.... She even noticed little things about Savannah that weren't quite " normal " . Like how she was really personable but wouldn't look at you when she was talking to you. And this was the first time she had ever met my kids. So if a total stranger can get it (albiet she works with these sorts of kids) why can't a freaking family memeber?? Georga.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's just too hard, but anyway it wasn't the kind of fun we planed to have.

I think they are trying to make me feel good but it gets old. Not too sensitive at all. There is NOTHING more agonizing than having finally come to grips with the fact that something is " wrong " with your child, and then, instead of enjoying the support and comfort of those around you, having to FIGHT to convince THEM there's something " wrong " with your child!!!!!!!!!! Like we'd really just wish this because it looks like fun. <sigh> Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 AMEN -----Mensaje original----- De: The Hunny Family Enviado el: Miércoles, 23 de Abril de 2003 10:04 a.m. Para: parenting_autism Asunto: Re: I know people mean well but......Vent > LOL Sue, you know I never thought of the direct approach...I am such a wimp. I think being ASD will help me become a much stronger person!! > You are absolutely right, . Having has changed me in SO many ways, all of them positive. I'm strong where I used to be wishy-washy. I am resilient where I used to just give up and go with the flow. I am determined where I used to be a quitter. I am grateful where I used to be always wanting more. I am content with what I have, where I used to always be looking for something else. Having has made me grow in ways I never could have imagined.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 [>>] >>>>>> Greggory has gotten to a point I never thought I would see. He is totally mainstreamed and holds great conversations, no longer stims and has typical friends. My FIL told Jeff, " See? I told you he was fine. " BLEECH!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Good for you! I'm sure if they keep at you the way they have been, you'll get the strength to say it! Are you still going to tell your sister how she's making you feel? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 HOW TO CONVINCE YOUR FAMILY YOUR CHILD IS AUTISTIC Invite them to stay at your house for two weeks. Try to leave said child with them. Try to get said child to interact with them. Allow said child to remain in your bedroom for the entire TWO weeks, only coming out to go to school, keeping her eyes CLOSED until she exited the house and was free of all intruders. Allow said child to SCREAM AND VOMIT violently while trying to get her interact. They won't EVER question you again. Penny Re: I know people mean well but......Vent ARGH!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Yeah. And he also dismisses any problems realted to autism that Greggory still has. Greggory is very hf but not NT! noway!
