Petition regarding parents of autistic children & stories of false accusations

Thank's for sharing this, I too have been the target of bullying from the school, and made to feel 'it's all my fault that my daughter is quiet at school and underconfident'.  Both my children are perfectly happy and chatty at home. As a friend and colleague logically pointed out, they don't not want to come home, why is this I wonder, Duh? I am glad to have read this though, because as a parent with a disabled child, it's very easy to fall in to the trap of thinking it is your fault, I believe it is because of an underlying depression caused by being blamed for something that is not your fault, that you have worked very hard to overcome, but are up against total idiots most of the time. (Banging head against thick brick wall syndrome BHaTBWS, oh I've just invented a new diagnosis, a few research papers later and the sheeple in mental health services will start to believe it's a real condition, however, they will inevitabley blame the victim).  I was accused of 'staggering accross the playground' by the head one afternoon, because I was late to pick up my daughter from school.  Hands up, naughty mummy, she was 10 at the time.  But I turned up to school sprayed in green fence paint - to the extent that the deputy head sacastically remarked 'had I got any on the fence at all'.  Well lovie, you may not have ever bothered to take off your high heels and arogance, at any stage of your delvelopment, and had the enjoyment of creating something, and the enjoyment of getting caked in s*** at the same time.  Not an obvious Aspie trait.  But it was more inmportant to collect my daughter than turn up in perfectly couiffered hair and a ball gown.  I do not understand these people, they are from a different planet, not me, I'm not the one with the problem!!!  These post's have reassured me, that I am not the one with the problem, and that I am not being paranoid in thinking that 'they are out to get me' Obiously they are.  Nice chatting to you.  Back at work tomorrow, so emotions running pretty high.
