Sooooo a little bit of background, my ds is 3.8 and at start of dx process for aspergers/asd. Anyway I take my dd to a baby group and everyone was chatting, it's a small group of 6, we were chatting as usual about a couple of babies who are very cute chubby babies and how hv moan about their weight unnecessarily. Out of the blue one mum said 'oh it's like when a child is naughty or a bit different they diagnose autism, for gods sake' ............I was a bit taken aback I'm new to the group and they don't know about my ds. I was a bit shocked, is this what people think of children with asd?! I really wanted to say u can have my son for a week if u like and u can decide if he's a bit naughty!
Just having a moan really, guess its first of insensitive comments to come. I felt like a fly on the wall iysim? I don't wanna go back now :(
