[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like you are interpreting symptoms of your child's disability as deliberate, personal attacks on yourself! She is not your father! [/quote] If both have untreated ASD then neither the daughter nor dad would be deliberately attacking her. However if someone gives you feedback - stop yelling pls, don’t raise your voice, don’t attack me for helping you late at night - and you don’t or can’t internalize how to adapt, then boundaries get set by the target. Get treated, get professional help. Separately, with these genetic disorders, it can be quite triggering, and depressing, to see a child showing symptoms that an elder parent had. Get professional help and support groups to better cope with that reality. Hang out with healthy functional people too. Be YOUR best self. [/quote]
