Why can't we face the truth? Having an autistic child wrecks your life ... | Mail Online
What an absolutely horrendous article. I know that it's the Daily Mail, but still.
I hope that Tom never knows how his parents feel about him, or that they're
able to place him somewhere.
My son's behaviours are at least that bad (to the point where he can't live at
home because we can't provide him with 2/1 care), but I can absolutely say that no
one who has come in contact with him ever wishes that he hadn't been born.
Crap articles like this are what make it more difficult for our children to live the
best lives that they can. It reinforces every bad stereotype about autism without taking
into account the huge strides that we've made as a community with therapies, funding
support for families, and science.
This is absolutely irresponsible, and does a huge disservice to every autistic person
out there.
