[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those whose parents don't have a good relationship with the grandchild, perhaps you could identify some books that would help them understand?

It may be that this is a generational gulf.  Back when our parents were kids (and even back when we were kids) there were so many needs that simply went undiagnosed.  Kids were more generally described as "good" or "troubled" or "just a boy acting out" without the amount of knowledge that we have today.

Perhaps some education and information would help them be the supportive grandparents that the children need and that you need and they want to be.  [/quote]

Books and education???   :roll:  :roll:   My mom only cares about herself and looking good to her friends.  You think giving her a book on how to be a good grandma will help?[/quote]

Sorry, PP.  I didn't mean to trivialize, if that's how you took it.  I know my own parents have learned a lot about ASD by, say, reading Temple Grandin's  works.  My point is that maybe there's some education that can happen without you personally having to be the teacher.  [/quote]

The difference is you parents care and are willing, mine are not.  My mom lives close by, made at me for calling her on it and has not seen my kid in a month.  She doesn't care she is hurting my child.  She understands his needs and still critics his delays and everything vs. noting all the progress and positives about the child (who is well behaved and adores her).[/quote]
