[quote=Anonymous]OP, your last update worries me. I am the parent of a young adult who was diagnosed with ASD in elementary school (second opinion too and we were in agreement). We told a small few on a need-to-know basis. Some fell by the wayside immediately. We too are in a very competitive area. Some parents no longer speak to us. Others remain good friends, 15 years later. What I realized is that it was important to place the needs of our son #1, not worry about others' thoughts, labels, etc. It got much harder before it got easier. Those who don't know think you've just got a bad kid. That is hard to hear for sure. No perfect answer, but putting head in the ground and hoping no one realizes (THEY DO, as pps have said above--you and DH are not fooling anyone). Please don't get cut off from your small circle of friends. [/quote]
