I’m actually very sure I’m just being a bit of a dick but here goes.... My older son has ASD (undiagnosed and prob ADHD which under the NHS isn’t diagnosed till 7+) and is 6. He’s in mainstream education and has a wonderful TA dedicated to him.

I was on a walk today with a fellow class mum and our children and whilst ds deigned to stop climbing trees for 2 minutes and walk with us I mentioned our great news which was that he’d scored 8/10 on his spellings. A gradual improvement from the 1-5/10 he’d been scoring since joining yr 2. My lovely friend was genuinely happy and congratulated us both but when her own son piped up and said he’d also got 8/10 she jokily berated him in front of me and ds and asked her son what on Earth went wrong!

AIBU to think she slightly undermined what was a massive win for ds and by proxy me and could have been a bit more tactful if she wasn’t pleased with her own (NT) sons results.

Or am I being a bit of a sensitive arse (entirely possible and no offence taken if anyone says so Grin)

pikak she is a warm and lovely person so I agree I think she just spoke without thinking.
