[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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?

Sometimes you are the only one.  And it isn’t just the mean, catty moms who don’t have time for you.  It’s a lot of normal people too.  People only have so much time.  If their kid doesn’t want to hang out with your SN kid, then they really don’t have time for you.

You also get labeled as a bad parent a lot if your child’s SN aren’t immediately visibly obvious.  People act like there is something defective about your whole family.  [/quote]

I am sorry you are experiencing this PP.

I think if you find yourself as the only one in the corner, there is some level of miscommunication/ misperception happening. If everyone, including the "normal" people, are avoiding you, I am not sure that this is a 'social hierarchy" issue, as the OP indicates.

In order for the hierarchy system to occur, there has to be another class. One person cannot be another class.

I know. I went off topic here.  [/quote]
