[quote=Anonymous]  I think sometimes people are actually helpful, but sometimes they are meeting their own needs or not coping well with their own anxiety.

The mom I dealt with who has one child with autism, but considers herself the leading authority on autism sometimes can get so lost in black and white thinking that she cannot accept that there is a SPECTRUM of functioning. She doesn't know my kid, by met me at an autism group and now she is determined to mentor me when her child is in a specialized autism program at the school where my Larla is mainstreamed and other than sharing the label autism spectrum they present with very different strengths and challenges.

My kid is a regular rec tream without issue, but expert mom keeps offering to give me info out the special needs team her kid is on. I say "Thank you for the info. Larla is enjoying rec soccer so we plan to stick with that." Larla has several friends she plays with on regular basis and is in a lunch group at school to connect with others, but expert mom keeps mentioning the social skills group she does privately and how she could give us info. Larla attends regular camps without issue. We make sure the camp knows her issues just in case. Expert mom keeps pushing the special needs camp her kid attends.[/quote]
