[QUOTE="sandman3, post: 139149, member: 4719"] My sister is the exact same as Lookingforhope's. Thinks my kids "bad" problems are a result of my "bad" parenting. It sounds like this person just really has absolutely no idea what it's like to have a difficult child and probably just doesn't get it. Unfortunately, as you well know, it's hard to explain, and unless they spend 24/7 with you, they probably never will. I think it's nice that you're still giving her a chance as a friend. If she says something again, I would have some statistics in my head that you could inform her of, like how many children these days have mental disorders, etc, etc.... I did that one day at a soccer field, this other teams coach was giving difficult child 2 a hard time because he was getting to close to their "gear"...I had made up some little business cards, laminated with info about Autism and websites they could visit because I was sick of people's attitudes and stares.....I walked over to him, introduced myself as the child's mom, handed him a card and nicely asked him to please read it so that he might understand what it is to be a child with Autism. The man was dumfounded, took the card and said thank you. It felt great! [/QUOTE]
