[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really bad if your kids aren’t well liked, due  to special needs or just being different in some way. You’re pushed to the periphery along with the other ‘weirdos.’ You have no chance whatsoever, regardless of your personality. [/quote]

This has been one of the hardest things for me about having a child with autism.  I feel like a jerk complaining about it because it’s obviously harder for DS than it is for me.  
I will say that I have really come to like the “weirdos” on the periphery :).  [/quote]
Yes, I would like to not be forced to the periphery though. I have no choice.[/quote]

Your above comment is what I don't understand in this thread.

What is so wrong with the periphery? If the mean moms are as horrible and as catty as you say they are, aren't you relieved that you are at the periphery?

Because if you meet one kid with autism you met one kid with autism. Same with the parents of these kids. Why can’t I have a choice? [/quote]

Why does not having a choice to be friends with mean/catty people bother you?

I don’t like the fact that my DC and now myself, are lumped into a category. I don’t want to befriend catty parents, however I am never even given an opportunity to get to know any parent outside the SN bubble. It’s all based on misconceptions and their kids’ perceptions, which is just wrong. We are more than just people w SNs. I hate that label.[/quote]
