A RANT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Your child doesnt have to be social ......no one does, your child is normal, just not by the standards of the state, whose standards arent anything we as parents should want our kids to live up to...your doing a great job.. dont worry about the days when you have some fresh out of secondary school little wanna be psychologist telling you that in fact "no your wrong they spent thousands on their education, they know best" or so they think...all the money in the world cant pay for the expierences we have....they record two three minute videos and think they know our kids intimatly, and can tell us whats best for them...its insulting...so to the mothers and fathers of kids with an ASD i say this...WELL DONE TO YOU !!!!!!!!!! dont ever give up on your kids...and dont ever let anyone tell you they cant and wont talk..or walk upstairs without help...or know who their parents are..these people underestimate our kids on a daily basis and us with them..whats holding our kids back is the support there getting which is why we as parents have to work harder than anyone else out there... instead of having these people fishing for information to help them further their career...it feels like our kids are assets to these people numbers for next years budget...and when the money is there its diagnos diagnos diagnos...but soon as they know budget wont be there they seem to adapt the why bother attitude.. why bother diagnos them..doesnt benefit us..were not gonna get extra money for them......leaving us struggling and fighting to have our kids recognized as having a disability... as if we would really go in and make up some of the things we as parents of a child with an ASD see and expierence.
