I took dd2 and dd3 to firework night. Dd2 is 13 (NT) and the other is 8 and has AS. Dd3 is going through a difficult time - she has very severe OCD and is extremely anxious most of the time. When overloaded she has a tendency to be quite loud and screechy.
We went with my friend and her dd. She insisted on going in two hours before the fireworks started which I knew would be a bloody bad idea and said so but my friend is bossy.
Inside the place I was trying to explain to dd3 that she needed to sip her hot chocolate slowly because it might be hot and I could put in extra cold milk if she wanted. Evidently she was beyond processing that because she took a big gulp, burned her mouth and then had a mini meltdown. She didn’t hurt anyone she just became a bit loud in what was already a loud environment.
My friend thought this would be a good time to say ‘ha, ha, ha that woman just said dd3 is a nightmare’ then later that dd3 ‘looks a lot worse’ than last time we saw them. Well yes she is having a bad patch so her difficulties look more obvious. She then made comparisons with my older daughter. She made it sound like my older daughter is a superior child when she’s isn’t she just doesn’t have the same difficulties as dd3 because she is NT FFS! And she’s also older.
I am so pissed off. Her daughter is not perfect herself but she ignores the things that her dd was doing like pulling my dd’s hair and therefore winding her up.
Rant over. I have AS myself so I hate crowds anyway and usually try to avoid them.

Do you get sick of people judging and offering their unwanted f*ing opinions?
