Guest guest Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Argh!!! If my in laws say ONE MORE TIME 'oh every kid this age does that' I will SCREAM. It took all of my willpower today to bite my tongue after listening to it all weekend. They've been visiting since Friday and I love them so much... Hubby's Mom is more like my Mom than my Mom ever was! His Dad is a bit... well, tough but not macho if that makes any sense. Belittles illness and denial is almost his middle name I guess. At least my Mom who is insane and self absorbed accepts that my daughter has Asperger's and actually reads things or see things and recognizes that our daughter is JUST LIKE THAT Asperger's person/kid that her co-worker described, etc. It's just so disheartening. I mean, do they think I get some sick enjoyment having a kid with Asperger's? Like I'm getting some yummy attention or sympathy? (Quite the opposite as I'm sure you know.) It's not like my daughter doesn't show her stuff when they're here but I guess denial is just sooo strong??? I was just so tempted to jump up and say " You know what? You're right!! She isn't Autistic at ALL. I should call her developmental pediatricians, speech therapists, special ed teacher and all the other therapists and teachers she has had over the years who say she is on the Spectrum and tell them that THEY are ALL WRONG and YOU'RE RIGHT!!
