Parents Asking For Help

Post Reply New Topic

ditto

As a "NT" parent I find myself lurking around here more than posting because I get a great feeling of hostility towards the NT's.

I think perhaps some people forget that like everyone on the spectrum is not the same, NT's are not all the same either.

I appreciate all the help I can get.

Hi NT parent and welcome,

I am Aspergian. I can tell you that even though most of the posts you find on here NT bash. It doesn't mean that we think allllll NT's are like those that hurt us (or we are mad at for some reason). There is no reason for you to not feel like you should be able to post here and ask questions. This is part of the reason we are here. This is part of the reason I read the parent's board. NT parents are the ones that should have the most questions concerning their Aspergian children. They are the ones dealing with children that they can't truly understand. Until their children are old enough and mature enough to be able to say "Look I need this, this, and this." Or brave enough to tell someone that something hurt them. They need someone else to interpret what their actions mean. And the simple fact that a parent is NT, instead of Aspergian, means that, normally, they aren't qualified to do so, even as a parent that knows their child. Now, this isn't to say that once you have a Dx in the family you can't go and become an Aspergian/NT interpreter, because there are those that do this, but even they need help, sometimes.

I wonder... could someone make a living interpreting between Aspergians and NT's?

YES
