[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm. We are introverted nerdy types with ADHD and HFA running in the family. And we're also Asian "Tiger Parents" in that we do expect our kids to prioritize academics. I hope you understand that what you see on the outside (say, Asian family focused on school) doesn't mean they're judging you and yours, and doesn't mean they don't have their own struggles.

My oldest simply doesn't have any friends. At all. His particular brand of autism makes his brain that way. My youngest has a serious auto-immune disease. She has one good friend.

None of us are on social media.

We don't quite fit in anywhere, and from the very start of our parenting journey, we knew we weren't looking to keep up with anyone else. We just do our own thing.

Embrace who you are, and encourage your children to embrace who they are and love themselves. It has never bothered me that we are slightly (or very!) quirky.  :-)

Wow. I love this - well said! We are similar. [/quote]
