Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but refusing to believe that people like it-doesn't mean that no one likes it.

I have a dc with SN, and I also have NT kids. You are not guaranteed a certain parenting experience with NT kids, either.

It's important for moms (and dads) of kids with SN to find a place for support. I'm not local, but in my area, there is an active FB group and occasional meetups (run in conjunction with an enrichment event for sn kids and their nt sibs). I find this a great source of support. Sn parenting can be isolating. You really do have to reach out and find your tribe. [/quote] I reached out and it worked for a bit, then it didn’t. I reached out and it didn’t work. I reached out and it worked for a little bit and the it didn’t. I reached out, I reached out, I reached out.   I helped form many larger groups that are still active the DMV, but never found a smaller group that worked long term.   Reaching out doesn’t always work.  You are one of the fortunate if it has worked out long term for you.  My sister has a group like that.  It is fantastic for her.   My kids are now in their twenties and I am sick of reaching out.  I just take one day at a time and still hope for a better outcome for my kids.  [/quote]

There's always hope. One of my coworkers ds , a decade ago, was early 20s, didn't work or hardly leave the house. Now early 30s he works full time in a job where he is valued (at a burger chain) drives and lives in the inlaw unit of the parents house. He has a group of friends that share a common interest. My coworker is so proud of him. It took time.[/quote] I was responding to the pp who talked about parents getting support with other parents, not about the trajectory of our children.[/quote]

Ok, thanks for sharing.[/quote]
