[quote=Anonymous]  We got the grandparents to come around, but it had to be kept some dark secret with anyone outside the immediate family in their circle. It became incredibly isolating. We didn't go to extended family events so they could continue to brag about DC without anyone knowing about the special needs. DC looks typical so they could show off photos of DC with our other child too. So now our extended family thinks we have cut off from them, when in reality we are just trying to let my aging parents pretend they only produce a long line of perfect people with superior intellect. Pretty sure they brag about both our kids being superior athletes too. DC with special needs does adapted sports and our other DC does rec sports. Nothing wrong with any of that, but these are not superior athletes. Families are nutty. I don't know that things would have been better if we hadn's kept the secret. I'm not sure that side of the family would have been that accepting of these special needs.[/quote]
