[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think about it like that, but I have to admit that sometimes, my teen daughter and I have a bond of mutual non-verbal understanding that it entirely lacking between my husband or my son, who are both on the spectrum, albeit high-functioning. They don't get non-verbal cues. With them, you can't do a little flash of eye contact and transmit slivers of intelligence. With my daughter, I can. It's a great relief to have at least one person in my family like this. So in that sense, she's my best friend. But I would never say that out loud, or write it out except anonymously. Because of course we also have a parent-child relationship. [/quote] I'm sad about your casual dismissal of connecting with your child just because they have a different way of communicating. My best friend doesn't even live in the same state of me. Winking isn't what makes someone a best friend. [/quote]
