This post is to highlight how others make can make parents feel.
I hope just one person reading this posts will stop and think in future and not judge with ignorance.
At some point in our lives , we have all been there , I was certainly there when my children were younger. So this is to say to many , you are not alone β€οΈ
Imagine
Imagine , being that child that everyone talks about
Imagine , being the parent of that child, you're talked about too
Imagine , Watching on as others discuss, with that look on their faces
Imagine having to defend and justify a child's behavior every single day
That child won't understand fully the consequences of their actions
That parent cries silently, not once , but several times a day
That child responds to others with language and behavior inappropriate for many
That parent cowering for the next onslaught of distaste and the dreaded looks
That child five minutes later , all sweetness and loving
That parent relieved for five minutes of calmness and knowing no ones looking
Imagine being that child everyone talks about
Imagine being that parent
Been autistic makes our children unique
It's not all smiles and laughter
Imagine
