[quote=Anonymous]A bit of a mixed bag here. My mother--with whom I have a mostly torturous relationship--is great in terms of treating the kids equally....which ironically can lead to problems when she doesn't adjust for the different kinds of supports my SN DS may need (for example, giving him time to chill out, avoiding huge social groups that he can't cope with, etc.). She's a hippy, so very free to be you and me with the kids, so I have to remind her frequently that DS needs more structure and clear "what will happen next" to feel comfortable. My dad (they're divorced) have actually expressed that they love my SN DS "more....because he needs the extra love" which I have warm but mixed feelings about, for probably obvious reasons. They also are nervous about handling him without us there. I don't share details of treatments, IEPs, or anything else beyond his ASD/ADHD diagnosis. [/quote]
