donnar Report post Posted June 2, 2007 Anyone have any idea why people are so damn ignorant? Why rather than listen to a reason, they insist on being right? Why is it so easy for people because my son does not look disabled to belive i am a bad parent or he is a disfunctional, naughty, rude child rather than sick? Why can i not say oh he is Autistic he has Aspergers and people go ohh ok i understand! or oh really whats that? Why do i have to keep fighting people with no listennign skills or interest but with so many opinions about the behaviour of my son? Why is it family are harder to discuse this with and less likley to listen than others, And short of screaming 'im getting peed off with this your all depressing me' from the roof top anyone have any idea how to get through to people? Why is it that you have to move into the health and eduction department to get anything done why cant you just phone once maybe twice? Why when you have it tough does mankind insist on making it worse! people are so nice. ok finished feeling sorry for myself now love yall x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noetic Report post Posted June 2, 2007 Can you try this: http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=522 It is a card that briefly explains what autism is etc. and you can hand them out if people moan and complain. And hey sadly people are narrow-minded and intolerant quite often - as long as those people you care about know what is going on, does it really matter so much what total strangers think?

wishingwell Report post Posted June 3, 2007 This is a little card I've carried in my purse for my years because of ignorant adults. When I'm sorting out a situation with my son, and the absent-minded, rude comments start, I hand them one! My child is not having a tantrum. My child is not spoilt. My child has a disability. My child has AUTISM. Hope it helps! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
