[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WHAT IS IT WITH ALL YOU SUPPOSED "CHILD CARE EXPERTS" WHO CALL YOURSELVES NANNIES??  This child is clearly mentally disabled and the mother is in denial.  I have a sibling with autism and a special needs son.  That this nanny is "annoyed" by her disabled charge and that other nannies support her whining and can't discern from her description that the child is clearly on the spectrum,  is nauseating but typical of the defensive and entitled nannies who populate this site. OP you need to talk to the mom and explain you are not qualified to take care of a child with special needs and get another job.[/quote]

Completely agree, except the mother does not seem to be in denial; she thinks her child is on the spectrum but has not yet received a diagnosis.  Nannies, please recognize the limits of your experience and expertise and stop encouraging each other in this obnoxious race to the bottom of unprofessionalism.  None of you are qualified to diagnose the presence or absence of special needs in a child, unless perhaps you have a medical degree or doctorate and are GROSSLY underemployed.  OP, you sound like a reasonable person.  Caring for a special needs child can be grueling, and there is no shame in deciding it is not something you can or want to handle on a daily basis.  And there is nothing wrong with checking in here to see if others have been in your situation.  But some of you other posters--calling the mom a "crazy" "helicopter parent" who is raising a "brat" and "causing her child's mental illness" makes you all sound incredibly ignorant. [/quote]
