[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 228895, member: 3419"] Hi Mandy, luckily, I haven't had a friend tell me this in a long time. A good friend, who has no kids, and works for the criminal justice system, had a pretty narrow view, and I just quit talking to her about him. I used to tell her everything. Now I realize that was a mistake. Unless there is some reason you must have interaction with-these people, I would just stay away from them. Your coworkers shouldn't be talking about your son ... unless you are bringing up the subject first. Again, I wouldn't even bring it up. There are very few people who understand our lives and our children, who do not have children of their own who have dxes like ours. It's just too hard for people to comprehend. I have learned over the yrs to lower my expectations. Really, really lower them. [/QUOTE]
