My 4.5 yr daughter has epilepsy and ASD (actual/detailed diagnosis in couple of weeks) and is roughly two years behind her peers. She doesn't have friends at school because she is still at the stage where she plays alongside rather than with the other kids.
My local mummy friends are always getting together with thier kids etc and since her epilepsy diagnosis I have been left out of invites, either to stuff with or without the kids. Add to it the ASD symptoms and she is obviously hard work to mix with other kids.
I am really down about it all at the moment and have got to the stage where I just can't listen or see my other mummy friends I made when H was born because all their kids are doing 'so great' at school and they keep on about it either to my face or on say facebook. Does my head in and I am now feel I don't actually want to mix H with them anymore cos the kids are just horrible to her, and it breaks my heart to watch, plus I just have nothing in common with the parents anymore.
Am I doing her an injustice by keeping her away from them or should I be thicker skinned and put her into these normal situations?
