To just about every parent of an autistic kiddo I know, although not all:
I am sick and tired of listening to your stories of how hard life is for you. I am sick and tired of hearing how tired you are, but never accepting my invitations to take your kiddos out and take a break. I am sick and tired of you screaming at the top of your lungs to anyone who will listen that they should be called kids and adults with autism, because it is a disease and that calling them autistics is wrong. I am sick and tired of you complaining about your kid's tantrums, but then not listening to me or actually being offended when I have taken them out and I have zero problems with their behavior at all. I am sick and tired of you putting down your kids on social media or to anyone who will listen, so that they feel sorry for you, while not caring how it affects your child today and possibly in the future. I am sick and tired of keeping my mouth shut when you tell me how horrible your kid is, because you claim you need someone to listen, when in fact it is YOU who is nuts and driving the poor kid crazy. I am sick and tired of you expecting that everyone else accept your kid with the horrible disease of autism, as you call it, while not accepting them yourselves. I am sick and tired of you listening to some nut selling you all kinds of vitamins and supplements, who in some cases have made your sick have real medical issues, because to you it's easier to buy into that and have someone to feel sorry for you than actually attempting to help your kids. I am sick and tired of you complaining that your kid has no friends, yet everytime I have attempted to get our kids together so that they can develop friendships, you have no time for it. I am sick and tired of listening how my son is doing better because I am just lucky, when the fact is you have no idea how much I have had to change my views and my lifestyle in order to understand my child and help him be the best he can be as an autistic individual, not as what you or the rest of society think he needs to be. I am done. I am done with sending you posts, stories, videos, etc. to help you understand your kids, as you claim you have no time to dig up such stuff, but I do because I am just lucky, when the fact is you continue to do the opposite of what every autistic individual out there says you should do. I am done. The stress you have added to my life is not worth it. I love your children like none of those other sympathetic parents to YOUR own cause love them, but you can't see it because you don't care about anyone but yourselves. I pray that your kids make it out alive and not completely damaged by the time they are 18 and can escape the abuse that you have subjected them to all in the name of making them normal, so that you can have this perfect life and so that others will feel sorry for you. I am done. It's now about myself and autistics, not about you. Take a hike.
