[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 128773, member: 3907"] Beth, I completely agree and you have put it so well. The other side of the coin for our difficult children, though, is that because they look normal people expect them to be normal. The world just won't be as forgiving of them or make accommodations for them the way they do for more visible disabilities. I know it's not right, but it is reality. I have spoken to difficult child at length about the fact that the world doesn't care whether or not he has a disability. They will be just as harsh with him as they would with anyone else. More so, because his behaviour is likely to be non-standard and therefore, threatening. With difficult child's ongoing legal troubles, and his court date looming, I am starting to see that kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other disorders are so heavily over-represented in the justice system. It's very sad. Trinity [/QUOTE]
