Well something good has come of it.
A long family friend phoned up DH today and asked could he call round.
When he came he immediately told us that he and his wife had watched the film together the other night and that they were astounded as to how much goes into parenting a child with ASD.
He said "what can we do to help, anything at all"
I got all tearful.
He asked us to think about it and if we come up with anything to tell him or his wife.
I couldnt think of anything today, they cant really give us any respite, although i think that Ds would go to their house as he really likes their 2 older sons, they are very patient with him , but i dont want to rock the boat with DS as he hardly goes out at the moment, his anxiety levels are sky high cos he knows the tutors are coming back next week and he,s back to doing his OCD, anxiety, soiling
But, i just thought, wow if it makes people sit up and think like it has done our friend then surely the film has acheived something.
