[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent of two kids with ASD and I honestly don't take offense at OP's post.  Clearly I'm in the minority, though.[/quote]

I'm a pp whose son has ADHD, social language pragmatic deficits, some sensory issues, and can be inflexible about clothing. I'm not offended by OP's post. If people find it disgusting and offensive and deserving of reporting- fine. I don't think so.

I get that these things can be battles and we all have to choose what we can manage each day-- for our family, it's peer relationships. I have a kid who wants friends so desperately and has no idea how to make them. I spend a lot of energy working to help DS find some friends and To understand social norms. He goes to social skills therapy, he has an advocate at school who can help him with social interactions, and I make sure that clothing/hygiene don't set him apart from his peers. My DS has literally sobbed on the car ride home from school, depressed over friendships- his therapist really works with us on how to get those friendships going because we know that belonging and friends are so critical to kids happiness and self esteem.
