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 !!!.
