My dd is a highly intelligent quirky little girl(somewhere on the spectrum for certain) i have posted seperatley about some obsessions dd has,dd also has selective mutism issues.
We went out for the day today as a family and dd was in contact with lots of other dc her own age,the differences are obvious to me and friends can see this too as can teachers and some family.
I took the opportunity to try and talk to DH about dd's differences and made a real pigs ear of it
Dh has basically told me that its not an issue and i'm making it one,dd is a really happy little girl and i'm trying to cause a problem and i'm basically being horrible about her and making her out to be a freak!
I'm devastated
Dh rarely sees dd with other children especially large groups of them so i thought it would be a good opportunity to broach the subject,dh did admit in this conversation that it was "glaringly obvious" that dd is different,but he kept back tracking and eventually said what i have put earlier in my post.
I'm really upset and dont know what to do,i have really upset dh and he has made me feel terrible,like i have been derogatory about dd which i would never ever do she means the world to me and i just want the best for her
