Family doesn't get it

[Guest guest]

Why do so many people think it would be better if are kids were just bad or

spoiled....Why do they want to blame the parents saying they are awful parents

and making their kids bad or spoiled. How come they can not accept the fact

that there is a problem and it is no bodies fault?

Sorry for the rant....It just really makes me boil!

We had a family member threaten not to come to anymore family functions if

" that's the way it was going to be " They thought a was getting away with

what every she wanted (so not true) and she took a toy away from their 8 yo!!!

she is 3yo!!! oh yes...I was fuming...this all came about after my sweet little

girl who can barely handle family gatherings, actually stayed calmly in the play

room with other kids and was part of the group as we ate and stuff...AND she

told me she liked this party......Then my *^%#@ brother called me about a toy!!!

Well I sent them 20 pages about AS and they have been somewhat better....OH my

is this what its going to be like???

Oh yeah...and AS kids don't lie right???? Well next time we were at my mom's

house and brother and his family were coming over, I told a and she buried

her head in my chest then got the toy in question (the one she always plays with

at my moms house) and hid it under her blanket on her lap and said " Mama he

isn't going to get my stuff this time " WOW!! if I could only make them

understand her point of view!

Sorry for the ranting and length of this I just had to get it out

Hello, I just joined. Boy, do I relate to the posts I've been reading.

My 4 year old was just diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, Sensory

Integration Disorder, and General Anxiety Disorder. I was speaking

with my mom on the phone and she overheard my son acting up, and her

comment was " He doesn't have autism....he's just spoiled " . Well, the

steam started coming out of my ears. Other family members, I think,

probably don't believe anything's wrong with him, either. It's

disheartening when you don't get the support you need from your own

family. The only other person who understands what's really going on

here is my husband. That's why I'm glad I found this group!
