Hardly anyone bothers with my daughter with asd

ApplePie1991

Hi 
I'm feeling really down because I feel hardly anyone bothers with my child who is on the Autism spectrum. People seem to think it's ok to only see her once every couple of months or so! It's like because she doesn't talk they probably assume she doesn't care Or it's like she's not entertaing enough for people!!!I have a couple of mum friends that like to meet up with us which is lovely but her own godparents hardly bother!! One is related to us aswell!!!! If they ever see her it's an hour visit and my child isn't really that bothered about them so I also assume that's why they hardly bother but it's no surprise if they never see her!! 
Facebook pictures, snap chats they all get ignored!!! I know that's petty but it's so sad!! Her own godparents should know better!!!!!

  • Hi, your so right it does make you feel like your alone in this situation, people take for granted the things they do on a daily basis , without sparing a thought for those who struggle.i feel for you that your health has suffered, we sometimes think we are invincible and relativley we struggle on , having to cope as there seems to be no other way , we have to stay  strong willed to carry on for our children . .but you must also take time for yourself.. i too dont bother with friends most of them have just drifted away and as you say when the kids where younger, certain kids took advantage as they knew how vunerable my son was. .. its a mothers instinct to protect there child and you had every right to feel aggrieved.  your husband seems very wise and hes right real friends would not behave in that manner, so like i said before we have no friends around us either, sometimes its lonely but then on the other hand i feel i dont have to answer  those akward questions anymore about why doesnt your son do this and that!!!.. we are in our own family bubble, its not easy but you know , look after your little family, your a great person , you obviously  care very much for them , they are very lucky to have such caring parents.. god bless your father it is impossible not to worry , you wouldnt be human if you didnt .. im sure there are many more people out there with simelar stories  to ours.. please try not to feel alone .would be nice to hear from you again..
