[quote=Anonymous]You need to work on yourself so you can: 1. Let some comments roll off your back. 2. Find ways to discourage future comments. My 20 year old ASD/ADHD college kid has motor skills and spatial coordination issues. Whenever someone mentions trades, I say: "You mean lawyer? Because he has motor and coordination problems and the only work he can do is cerebral." The truth is, the only thing my son can do is a desk job. Maybe not lawyer, but I say that to shut them up! But also, I don't get too worked up about comments these days. When he was little and we were figuring stuff out, I got so upset over the outrageous "boys will be boys", "ADHD is over-diagnosed", "you're going to DRUG him???". We are past that difficult moment and I can handle things better, and with humor. [/quote]
