:? oh my...
It's a pitty that Rachel is saying things like that but maybe (and I just got here dont know her...at al) she just found out her kid has AS or so and is only 1 year old and as all mothers are protective...
she may well still be in a denial, frustration, revolt state of accepting that her child will be different and thus have a tougher life...
she would probably feel the same if it was any other thing... if someone could tell you when your kid is 1 year old that he/she would be gay although it's not a disease or bad or a handicappness you KNOW he/she would still have more aggravation in school, in work etc...
undertsanding works both ways... learning works both ways...
I haven't read this whole thread, but I do have one important question: Is it even possible to diagnose a child that young? I have 3 children and while I can say that my 12 month old acts more like my 7 year old Aspie did at this age, I can't really say yet whether he is an Aspie or NT like his dad and 3 year old brother. The 3 year old, yes, I can tell already, but not a 1 year old!
That alone makes me think troll, but I could be wrong.

So what? My eldest is formally diagnosed, and his mother never said such stuff. Numbers 2 and 3 are also quite likely--she's been able to accept them as they are.
your wife and you are obviously different than RAchel. We all have different reactions to the same things.
I'm not defending her rudeness and I believe we should accept people how they are, especially your children.. I just wanted to give her the benefit of impulsive reactions and frustrations... but as fiddler says she may even be a troll so...
Violet you say some good honest points there.
She isn't fit to be a mother, and if i lived around her I'd look for a legal reason to call child protective services on her and have her child taken away to a more open minded family.
Racheal,
What is wrong with you? Why do you need to be so rude to us? You know children read these, I guess you don't care if they hear you swear. Oh and we don't pity ourselves, we just want other people to treat us like human beings. Is that some much to ask?
Oh and my parents never tried to change whom I was. I just learn in a diffrent way then you and I happen to not like talking with people that much. The way you spoke to us is one reason why I don't enjoy talking with people. People can be so mean. Geez, go get some rest and talk to us logically ok?
Rachael, the reason we don't want to be cured is that we have a different paradigm than you, we see it not as a disease but as a different way of thinking. You need to do your homework, get your *** together, and accept your son for who he is. Oh and by the way, I do NOT have to blend into your world, and I don't you to blend into mine. (my world just so happens to be a designated *** free zone) Nt's can express their oppinions, but in a civilized manner, though you obviously see a problem with that. As to why I do not wish to be "cured" as you put it, is the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" familiar to you. I find your statement that I have to blend into your world extremely arrogant. I will never have to blend into your world. I have some very colorful language for you but unlike you I am somewhat civilized and will keep that to myself.
"Typical troll - 'I'm leaving' then has to crop up again to troll some more."
Soooooooo true...
And I totally agree with Yara's post. i'm also an NT (sort of) in a relationship with an Aspie. The way I look at it is this: If I wanted Erich to be something other than Aspie, that would mean he would be something other than Erich. How could I want him to be any less or any different from the Erich that I love?
This nasty OP -- Raechel, or whatever her name is -- will eventually be seen in a news story "Child Murders Mother" and everyone will say "How could such a terrible thing happen?"
By the way to all hate mongers(trolls)- normal is a stinking illosion.
Max The Bear, I wouldn't be surprised if the kids of those horrible parents mentioned in another thread (the ones who put up the nasty sign on their little boy's door saying he had to earn their love and be focused etc or they would be "forced" to yell at him, and who kept on telling their daughter she was fat) do some kind of grievous bodily harm to them at some stage.
Or what is more likely, leave home as soon as they are able, and totally distance themselves from the parents who will then wonder what they ever did wrong to deserve such "ingratitude".
