[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521998, member: 12886"] Sorry you have to deal with this....you have enough with your boys. My parents always believed the diagnosis but my dad and his wife don't act understanding when things get hard. They would defend him to the death if anyone said anything but their emotions take over when he does things that hurt feelings or physical stuff and they will never let smaller stuff go .. running in the house to go from one room to another etc. So stress builds. Funny. In first grade I worked with a rude team. I wanted someone to come to the IEP and dad said sure. I told him just act as if and be a witness. I was treated with respect and he heard all the concerns. After that youd have thought HE was the expert on autism. I let him be the know it all. So funny. He even told off a guy in a hardware store who tried to lecture q on being nice to his mom. I have this gut instinct to educate your parents on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and let them know the MRI was to rule out other things. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) doesn't show up in medical tests. And would love to share some simple Tony attwood books on aspergers / autism which are uber good. BUT I really think it would cause frustration. Mom especially isn't ready. That would mean he is disabled! Many grands can't handle that (along with other issues you guys have ) and would rather think it was a fixable parenting issue. Could be a part of it anyway.

I agree that the conversation needs to be off limits.
