[quote=Anonymous]OP, you keep bringing up "horrific adult behavior" and adults attacking your son and judging you, though you have not once provided a specific example of this. I'll be honest, I doubt the first is really happening if you're really there intervening. I do, however, think that you perceive people judging you, and rather than accept, "I'm doing what I feel is best. The other grown up doesn't understand, and what that other grown up thinks doesn't matter." To you, what the other grown ups think DOES matter. Rather than accept they don't get it and move on, you want to control what they THINK because you're threatened by it. And you'd only be threatened by it if, deep down, you had doubts about your decisions and behavior.

You're lashing out at these fictional adults that you've exaggerated in your head, but deep down you're struggling because you don't know if what you're doing is right or best. And it's not unusual. Raising SN kids is hard and if you're not seeing sufficient progress despite 6 days/week of therapy, then I don't blame you for having doubts. But that is not our fault. Deal with the actual issue, rather than being defensive and lashing out at people who don't have information and context just because they're easy targets.[/quote]
