[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant again so have been following the Expectant Moms board. I already have 2 kids- one HFA and one NT. It seems like people are constantly trying to blame mothers for autism. It's exhausting and makes me wonder if people in real life are also silently judging everything I did during pregnancy. I know I should just ignore, but it's hard. It's like they need to believe that my child's struggles are some sort of punishment for my not being a careful enough mother. Just a vent, I guess.[/quote] It's not that. It's their way of dealing with their fear of something like that happening to them. If you believe that the mother did something to cause the ASD, you can just NOT do that, and it won't happen to you. It doesn't work that way, but it's their way of whistling past the graveyard. Just ignore it. People are dumb, scared cattle sometimes. [/quote]
