[QUOTE="Shari, post: 110627, member: 1848"] I don't know how others feel, and of course I've never dealt with a physically visible disability with my child, but sometimes the "invisibility" of autism and other disorders that our children have seems to compound my stress. People judge quicker and harsher when they can't "see" a reason for our kids behavior. A year or so ago, the Wall Street Journal had an article about the impact of autism on the work force. They interviewed a man who was a fairly high manager in a company. When his son was first diagnosed, his company was very considerate and helped immensely. Then one day, a few years into it, his boss asked him "So, when is the crisis going to be over?" This man was eventually demoted and later fired. But that statement has stuck in my head for. With disorders like this, for many, the "crisis" will never be over. [/QUOTE]
