Justme

Do any of you find it wrong?

 

To me I am not embarrased nor am i ashamed of my Son being Autistic I am very Proud of him and who he is yet this other person took it to be offencive! I don't see it like that at all!

  • Hi,

    I dont introduce my DS as autistic but I will always mention it in general conversation, especially after a positive comment.  For example:-

    Checkout lady: My goodness your son is so polite

    Me: Yes I am very proud of him

    Checkout lady: How well he behaves sitting so quietly while you pack up

    Me:Yes, he is so sweet and affectionate, and his autism makes him so much more precious

    I am not excusing the days when he is on the floor of the supermarket screaming his head off or whining about me not buying his latest obession but emphasising that autism does not mean difficicult or stupid, just different.

    I just would like people to see the positives, in my experience I wish I saw the world in my sons eyes, there would be no wars or fighting just happy people :)
