I had a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” moment like this with my son (he is autistic). On one hand you want to tell people he is autistic so they don’t judge his behavior against a normal child; but on the other hand, you don’t want to tell people so what happened here happens
Brings back memories when my son, now 13, was diagnosed. It seemed like an impossible feat; but, I can honestly say, my son is the sweetest, smartest, and most caring person I know and I wouldn’t trade a single minute of my journey with him!
Knock-Knock…“Who is it?”“Trick or treat”“Look, it’s 2:00 in the morning. Halloween is over, go home”“Um, Candygram”“I gave all my candy out. Now go home!”….“Unicef”“Unicef? Well, that’s different”
