[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a moderate autism kid.

Talks, but that's it.

I get really annoyed when people tell me their kid is autistic and is attending a normal school without a shadow.[/quote]

Why? I am no expert but I have substituted in a class specifically for level 1 autism kids and it’s very clear they need additional support but can also handle other classes and don’t need a shadow. [/quote]

Because some of us have level 2 or 3 kids. My kid wouldn't get into that class[/quote]

but what is annoying about it, or about parents telling you about it? [/quote]

Do you honestly not understand?[/quote]

NP and I don’t.  My mom has cancer but I don’t get annoyed when others tell me their mom has a cold.   They are both sick but no one thinks our experiences are very similar.  [/quote]

If your mom had pancreatic cancer and someone was complaining nonstop about their precancerous mole … yes you would be annoyed.

[/quote] If we go with this analogy it is more like your mom has stage 4+ ovarian cancer and someone is complaining about losing their hair with chemo for stage one breast cancer.  Both need treatment, one is more tragic.

Or someone who lost a baby 22 weeks vs someone who miscarried at 6 weeks.

There are plenty of things where one person is worse off than another. It should be okay for someone to vent no matter where they are on the spectrum.  [/quote]

Everyone can vent, but hopefully you understand why you shouldn’t cry loudly about your 6 week miscarriage to you friend who just had a 40-week stillbirth. Right? PP wasn’t saying you have no right to be sad or vent. She was explaining how she feels to be grouped with parents who have kids who are virtually NT. [/quote]

Pp was accusing those parents of 'complaining endlessly' and stated how 'annoyed' she is with them and their kids![/quote]
