Acceptance and Understanding

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share this. Some of you may have read in other threads that I have had an experience in Tesco's recently where the checkout lady made me really cross by her reactions to Tylers outburst (which was because she had to take his book off him and scan it).

 

This weekend a woman pulled her son away from Tyler in B&Q because he was having a 'moment', so I looked at her, smiled, and said "don't worry, its not catching". She flushed slightly and walked away, I didn't even mention ASD.

 

I now realised how far I have come, even in the last few weeks since diagnosis, based on a telephone conversation I just had with an old friend.

 

I rang her to tell her we have moved. We haven't seen her for about a year. She asked after the kids and I said Tyler is starting school on Monday, she responded with the usual "No, he can't be starting school already..." as people do, then she asked which school and I told her Chalet School (special school) and she asked me why he was going there, so I told her he has been diagnosed with ASD, her reaction was "but he's such a lovely boy" in a tone that suggests ASD kids are NOT lovely.

 

I actually smiled to myself on the end of the phone and said "yes, he is a lovely boy, isn't he". :whistle:

:clap: Well done you :clap:

 

Sometimes you can actually gain more enjoyment from making a crypic comment like 'It's ok it's not catching' :devil:

 

I know I know it's naughty - but nice :lol:

B) Good for you B)

 

Sounds like one of those moments when you want to stick your finger in the air and announce 'One to me'

 

It takes hard work to get that comfortable with your childs diagnosis. Well done you!!!!
