[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am genuinely perplexed as to why some of you have friends if you can't even offer an idea or suggestion to each other. I suspect it's the stugma many of you have about disabilities and autism[/quote] The purpose of friendship is not to have a sounding board for your suggestions and ideas :roll: Unless OP thinks her friend is incompetent and doesn’t take her kid to the pediatrician then there is nothing her advice is really going to do. Also early intervention is not that great. We had an evaluation through our county EI program and they said nothing was wrong with DC who was later diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Additionally, my DC’s diagnosis is their own personal information to share when they want. I don’t feel that it is my role to broadcast that to all of my friends. [/quote] Wtf? "Sounding board for your suggestions and ideas"? How do you extrapolate that conclusion from what was written? The idea is for friends to be able to offer suggestions and ideas that would be helpful to the other friend. I've never had a close friend who didn't offer input and try to help navigate life's rough spots. You're missing out and one of the best parts of friendship. [/quote]
