[quote=Anonymous]I get the frustration. Like many or even most of us, we've dealt with relatives who don't get it and think our kid should just suck it up and act normal. And that I'm being ridiculous to think that my kid shouldn't be expected to act normal. (Normal meaning the way they expect my kid should act). But, I'm not sure that big family events are where you should be asking for accommodations. Typically big family events revolve around a particular event or purpose - like a wedding or a significant birthday celebration or an anniversary. Depending on the type of event and depending on what you are asking for, your requests might not be reasonable for those circumstances. One other thing. I'm not sure that my family cares if they see my kid (they love the others, but not my one with SN). Maybe this is also something you are experiencing. Honestly, I just got over that because you can't make someone like or love your child just because you do. [/quote]
