[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you telling people your child's diagnosis? You are oversharing with strangers and wondering why you are getting responses you are uncomfortable with? Seems simple to keep it to yourself. [/quote] OP here. I don't always share. When DC was younger, the happy flapping gave it away. These days occasionally someone recognizes the "autism way of speaking" or a typical autism obsession. That said, I do share the diagnosis when I feel comfortable, but those are usually people who see my child as a person first, rather than a walking, talking AUTISM diagnosis with nothing else except AUTISM. I find it surprising because their loved ones with autism are much more than their autism. They are people with passions and dislikes and all sorts of dimensions. [/quote]
