arghhhhh im very angry

On being told that my 6 year old son has Autism on Tuesday i have found the ignorance of some people shocking, one person   Family friend said well he doesnt look autistic. for heavens sake i mean can any of you tell me what they mean and what would make a child look Autistic. im so annoyed yes in many ways my son looks every bit the perfect child but who gives people the right to say what a child with Autism or an ASD is too look like. agrhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Hello, I'm new to all of this and this is my first post.

    Similar to the unhelpful comment you recieved, I had a comment (prior to the person knowing of my daughter's diagnosis) in which a woman who worked in health care said she was amazed to hear that X's son was autistic... as she'd thought his parents were quite clever !!!.
