A bump in the road

asd moms are  the most misunderstood people in the world. a lot of people belittle what we have to go through everyday. the tantrums, the battle of getting a slot from the speech therapist, scheduling of supplements, toilet training and the list goes on. little do they know that asd moms are human beings too. we get hurt and we cry too much. we get over sensitive when other people talk about on how our kids behave badly and questions us why we ignore them when they are on the floor and throwing everything they get their hands into.

i found this article very touching and the author has amazingly expressed what i wanted to shout out to all people. i am happy that i dont have to write a long story just to say how pissed off i am when people are so insensitive and uncaring. pls read the link.
