[QUOTE="keista, post: 453031, member: 11965"] YAY! Its a start, and it does take some ppl a long time to adjust, and even if the eventually 'get it' they don't always really 'get it'. My Aunt for example, does finally see the differences in my son and accepts that he has a 'label' but still insists that it's simply individual differences, and what's wrong with that? Ah, nothing, but are you gonna refuse to give a kid who can't walk a wheelchair? or refuse to teach a blind kid braille? NO, so why refuse to teach my kid social skills and such? It's frustrating. BUT since she has read the material, she picked up on your frustration, and started taking you seriously - good sign. If she becomes open to discussing your son in the future, you can use her cold shoulder treatment as a good example of stuff he just doesn't comprehend. If she had told him, with words, very specifically what she was upset about, he may have understood, and certainly would have done more for his long term learning of controlling his behavior the the nonverbal communication.
