| Hi, maybe your family dont understand you daughters condition? have you tried sending them some literature about autism so they can read about it for themselves, this may help? You sound like you are doing a great job and your family is missing out . My parents dont understand fully about autism and they have 2 grandchildren with this condition. They tend to tut and criticise there behaviour which doesnt really help,but I try to point out that they cant help it . You would probably be better getting in touch with a self help group where people who are having the same difficulties as you can get together and share there experiences. I have found this very helpful and It has also increased my daughters social life as the have trips and get togethers etc. Try it ,its better talking to someone who understands the condition and who wants to help. Good luck ↑ |
