Hi,
Feeling very 'naked' even just discussing how I feel in a forum. I am usually a very outgoing person but my 4 yrs old child has been diagnose with high functioning autism recently and since then I have been going through lots of emotions which I know it is " normal" but it is very hard.
Today I dropped my child to the nursery and heard two kids of the same age saying" oh no, X is here." My heart sunk! Another child came up to me saying my child often hit him and chase him around nursery. I tried to explain to the kid, my child wants to make friends with him and that's why he was chasing him and advised the kid if my child does it next time, then tell my child to be gentle.
I feel so so bad, to the kid, the kid's parents and my child. I was hoping school in sept will be a good start with new kids and teachers but am so worry my child's behaviour would cause other kids to reaction the same way. My child is very happy and loving and always likes to play with others but has difficulty in social situation with kids at times. I feel so useless on a day like this. Desparate to be positive but tears can't stop flowing down my face.
Any one feels or felt the same before?

im really sorry that must be hard, but those things are just symptoms of autism so its gonna happen
im sure you arent useless at all, but probaly having a bit of a downer after hearing that, as anyone would, no one wants to hear that being said about their child, but you KNOW your child has a reason for how they are, and that wee kids dont understand what that means
you focus on that, he is happy and loving, you know he is a good person but having autism makes it more difficult for people to learn that about him
you do your best and you have nothing to feel bad about, and eventually your son will find his way
