I have no faith in my parents,, I feel they are not there for me both generally and in emergencies,, I would even go as far as to say,, half my autism is due to them growing up with out guidance, support and a safety net.
Does anyone else have no faith in there parents, and do you think it is linked to your autism spectrum or do you think it is just the autism spectrum making me think like this ?
Not all parents are supportive. One of mine was physically abusive, quite badly so. Whilst I do feel for those parents who are trying to understand their ASD children and trying to do their best by them, it is important to realise that not all parents are like that.
My own made life much worse for my sibling and myself. I know that having two AS children must have been extrememly difficult, but I cannot condone the use of physical violence to any children be they ASD or not.
AS being genetic - isn't one likely to have at least one parent with difficulties themselves, unless I understand that incorrectly. That coupled with the fact that I have read - the other parent is often found to have some kind of mood disorder, doesn't make for a happy home life.
Are there many other people with AS who have a similar unpleasent experience of home-life? I am sure there are.
If you have supportive parents you are very lucky - make the most of them.
