[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know. If I mention to someone that I have a child with autism, they assume low-functioning. He's in a mainstream classroom, in AAP, and has friends. Autism is a broad spectrum.[/quote] +1. I stopped telling people that my kid has ASD/ADHD. No one ever thinks he has any diagnosis or disability anyway and he's at the age where he should have his privacy. He is very talented, excels in school fully mainstreamed and has friends. People have a very skewed view of how autism presents and it's not my son's or my job to educate them.[/quote]
