This might sound like a daft question, but I’m debating with myself whether to mention on my son’s class FB group that he’s autistic. Just get it out of the way so that I won’t have to talk about it to people individually, to explain why he isn’t like his peers.
Pros: I don’t think it should be a secret or something to hide. It’s an important part of him and I don’t wish he was different.
Cons: I don’t want to stigmatise him before we’ve even set foot in the playground. I have an older child and I know school mums can be brutal.
Any opinions either way?
