| I guess in a sense I understand being a parent of someone with a disability becoming an identity of sorts, and possibly involving some sense of community if they connect with other parents of autistic children. For me I wish this was the case, unfortunately it's not. Parents of autistic kids are pr... |

| I really liked the Autistic doctor in Gray's Anatomy. I forgot her name. I wish they had kept her on the show longer. |

| I found it and I read it. I was looking for autism mom pee cards on YouTube. My mum could have said those same things about me and yes, my mum still cuts my tags out of my shirts. I still think that she should have been more careful. She's making a huge deal out of being an autism mom. Yeah, I acci... |

| But I think on balance it's the NDs who suffer the most - our suicide rate is said to be worse, we tend not to be given very good jobs, we often get bullied and socially isolated, etc. - so I can see how the stuff that an ND's caregiver comes out with can come over as rather offensive. The reality ... |

| I think it's unfortunate but it's a very easy trap to fall into - we all have our crosses to bear, and if one person highlights their own particular hardship and crows about having coped with it without saying anything to put it into perspective, it kind of insinuates that they're the only one who ... |

| I know a mom of an autistic boy personally. I hate to say that she does stuff like this a lot. Even before I had any clue at all that I might be on the spectrum, I always thought of how embarrassing this will be for him when he gets older. It's even worse for me now, of course. What's she going to ... |

| Cockney Rebel, I just found it. It was a post on YouTube. That is why I had confused it with FB. Funny, I accidentally wrote pee cards in my original post instead of pec cards! :lol: I am going to try to put the screenshot in. I don’t see how to put a screenshot in this message The mom is called Au... |

| ( response to mountain goat’s post)Yes, meltdowns and tantrums are completely different. You can’t use the words interchangeably.

| I've tried looking for that character on Facebook so I could give her a piece of my mind. I was actually mistaken. I saw it on youtube. I noticed that when I got a notification that someone gave me a thumbs up on my comment to give her a medal. I will see if I can find it for you. I'd like you to f... |

| How do you know the mum is NT? I think it doesn't matter. I agree with Cockney Rebel, the act of posting memes means whether NT or ND the parent here isn't thinking about how their child feels. I could accuse my own parents of this to me and my 18 year old daughter often uses this argument when she... |
