Other People!!

MrsP

Hope this is in the right place (newbie alert lol)

can I ask what are people's approaches to other people staring and commenting?

i am so sick of 'justifying' my ds's (6) behaviour to other people but likewise can't get my head around the idea of 'the card' (my ds is autistic blah blah) - if ds was battering people's children etc I could understand parents wanting to comment etc but only person ds hurts in a meltdown is himself (or me if he catches me by accident!) DH says to ignore it but its so hurtful seeing tuts or people just outright staring!

rightly or wrongly this is one of the aspects of ds being on the spectrum I find hardest! He couldn't give a fluff if someone commejust but I feel like saying 'I'm not a bad parent HONEST!' 

any tips?

Parents

  • I have a secret they don't know: far from being a bad parent, I'm actually a really good parent by necessity or this would happen all the time. Far from being a bad child, my son does really well to cope with the truly hostile (for him) world he lives in. They will never know this. They will never know the number of meltdowns we have successfully avoided this week. Poor them. I smile a secret smile to myself.

    Sometimes it works..sometimes I just burst into tears. Depending on sleep.
