friends judging my child

north london mum

hi all im probably over reacting a bit but im still waiting for an  assesment for my 2 year old wont be to probably december as was told 6 months waiting list i was at a freinds the other day and we were talking about my son she said if he has got autism its probably very mild and his just acting like a normal 2 year old when he has a tantrum as thats what 2 year olds do and he wouldnt be coming up to me for a cuddle if he had autism because children with autism dont do that i was quite hurt as she dose not see what i go through on a daily basis with my son ive had other friends say the same thing too i know they are being surportive but they just dont understand because some of them have even said he cant have that because autistic pepole have it really bad dont commnicate i just feel like screaming at them what do they know i have met so many people  with autism and aspergers and they walk talk just like the rest of us some days ive sat here and cried for my son and my freinds dont even know ive stopped telling them things now because i feel like they are judging my son behind my back sorry for the rant but i had to get this of my chest
