[quote=Anonymous]I am certain that DH has high functioning asd/ADHD. He has had zero supports from family, school and work because he is never diagnosed. He does not like it that I take our high functioning asd/ADHD kids to special need kid events because he does not think they belong there. He thinks that our kids will grow like him. He probably forgets the struggles and the sadness that he told me that few times that he did not understand why he had no friends at school, why he could not focus at school, and why his family did not love him etc.. I never ask him to attend any of those events, and I don't understand why he is not happy about it. I have asked him before if it hurts him that his family never had given him any supports but he says that I am being ridiculous. I take our children to attend those events for resources and social interactions. And, I also see that as an opportunities for them to see teen volunteers as a role model that I hope one day they can become one. Kids sometimes like some of the activities exposure and some of volunteer teens attention and social interactions. They are judgement free when they attend these events and all volunteers have lots of patience and love. They are mainstream with IEP and they have a lot of opportunities to interact with NT kids through school, camps and sports. It is just a vent post. Anyone is like me that doing things out of best interests for kids without spousal supports. [/quote]
