Hello all I really need some help.
My mum doesn't accept autism as a disability and she really upset me with her saying this as well as saying that me and my partner are dolepushers just living on handouts and are lazy, refusing to work.
I want her to realise that she really upset me but I still want to have contact with her.
How do I get her to understand how difficult it is for us not being in work.
I'm really struggling to accept her actions but I know that she is entitled to her own opinion.
Please help me
Gemma
I personally don't view myself as disabled as I don't think I am impaired enough for that to be so.
I wonder how other 'high functioning' members view themselves?
