Oh how I need a support group or a friend who understands. I am very isolated and only have my husband and mother to vent to.

I can relate. I hate to go to family gatherings because things like this happen. In the last couple years I have decided to just not go where the extended family celebrates with my kids because of the stress. I know it would take some time but what if you created a book about your son and his diagnosis. Autism is real and it isn't just a made up disorder and your son is not just being that "braty" kid that our kids usually get labled.

Please message me at [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) I would love to hear your experiences. It is so difficult because I feel she is being insensitive and immature and I always have my guard up because I know she is judging my parenting skills where he is concerned.

You need an email parent- buddy,a friend-support group, a state respite worker,counselor,a church group,or someone close to you! So what is up? Post here.

it never ends.... ... same here.
