[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've not only lost friends, I've lost my entire network of friends.  After what I've been through and what I've seen now, having an ASD DS, I'm not sad about the loss.  My once meaningless existence with surface-level friends has given way to new friendships with people who are fighting for their children and for the same causes.

There are those who get it and there are the 99% that don't.  I prefer to be where I am on this issue.  [/quote]

You and other posters here seem to think though that you are somehow different or better - you aren't. You did the same exact thing that the OP is complaining about.

No one is going to love your child or their actions all the time and maybe not even some of the time and why is that not ok? It doesn't mean your friend doesn't accept your child for who they are it means the friend is able to decide boundaries for herself and her own child and there some behaviors that they can't tolerate. News flash - this happens even with kids who are NT.

I think moms of SN children often come off as very condescending and standoffish. You are right - I may not know every correct term for a diagnosis or what every diagnosis entails - but it doesn't mean that I am ignorant and automatically hate your child. People make dumb comments all the time and SN parents are no exception. You too will make dumb comments to other parents.

What in the world?  I just can't believe someone could be this purposefully hateful.  How would you go from point A (this poster's comments) to what you have written?[/quote]
