[quote=Anonymous] I think one of the best things a parent can do, is not engage with online stuff that is upsetting. It's healthier for both the parent and the kid, if parent is not getting upset about social media content about autism.

I've looked at it a little-enough to know that I'm not wasting my time getting stressed over it. My dc is considered high functioning, but is clearly not as much as some content creators who have high functioning asd. So, there is a range even with that label.

They get to have opinions about how kids with asd are raised-and opinions are like ***holes, we've all got them you know ;) so I don't worry about it, I'm the parent and I'm going to do what I think best for my dc regardless of what a tik tok person thinks.

And yes, autism IS a spectrum-it's not linear. I have a friend whose dc is considered level 2, she's not verbal, ect. and that child reached some milestones that my own dc was/is very delayed on. So, levels sort of explain some things but are not totally defenitive of how asd effect a certain person.[/quote]
