[quote=Anonymous]Holidays stink!  They can be so hard for my child ( I know I am not alone).  It's hard to see him in social situations.  Other family members (children) his age set him up and/or be mean to him on purpose. To give themselves a good laugh--  It's sad.  I really don't like holidays and I know I am not alone.  As a family we could choose to isolate ourselves but where does that leave my other kids? Where does that leave us?  We talk positively about our child to the adults around us in hopes they will help their children understand but it does not happen that way.  In fact some of the adults are very bad role models to their children. They don't actually tell their children that's not  appropriate, not okay to talk or act like that.  Some times I think :  hmm I am the parent of a child with special needs and I work so hard to teach him appropriate manners, etc. .  These children are considered NT and they are acting like a bunch of jerks and their parents are no better!   I don't want to change my child but some days I wish I had a magic wand that could help him understand the world around him.  (I know I am not alone). LIke many I want to make it better, give him a band aid , anything to make it alright.  I love him for who he is but today  I guess I just needed to vent.  It's been a very tough couple of days.  On one hand I am so glad it's over on the other what happens at the next holiday?  [/quote]
