[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry…I get it. We don’t socialize much, go to events/places infrequently etc…because it can be too much to handle. It’s not necessarily just meltdowns but the stares/looks when your kid says something really odd too. It feels really isolating. We do have a small playgroup with other ASD kids at a gym but sometimes that can be fraught too. At least, other parents don’t judge with meltdowns there. Part of what I’m working on is how I feel/respond to meltdowns and stares. I have one ASD mom whose attitude is if a meltdown happens so what that’s life and moves on. I wish I could do the same. Talking with a therapist/support with other ASD moms helps. Even though we are 5 years past diagnosis it can still be a challenge to accept this is my life. Maybe full peace of the ASD diagnosis/life will never happen, but I hope with time I get stronger. Hugs to you.[/quote]
