To me the worst part is lack of government or insurance support to get him all the therapy he needs. We will have to literally bankrupt ourselves to pay for it all but since we do have a decent income we don't qualify for medicare or SS or welfare. So we are that unfortunate middle class that gets left behind.
Its bad and I feel this country does not care about us. Society does not care about us. Our family does not do enough. Our friends don't do enough. I feel often abandoned. I can't work because I am constantly on call for IEP meetings and have to take him to all his therapies and be on call for when he gets in trouble or gets suspened for crisis situations.

There is no link, but a parent of an awtard now has PTSD from raising his snowflake. The duh admitted he now needs therapy due to the stress and the normal brother needs therapy, due to the fact there is nothing left over from his parents to give to him as it all goes to the tard:
"I am glad he wrote this. We need more candid stories of what autism is really like. I have an 8 year old son with high functioning autism. Its not sunshine and rainbows. Yes, he is cute and quirky. A lot of people and kids adore him. He is a rebel and everyone loves a rebel without a cause. But he also has fun times like smacking his teacher across the face with his lunchbox or flipping a desk or being in physical pain from loud gyms or auditoriums or crowds. Or not being understood. or dancing and stimming right out in front of a moving car. or running away from school and running across parking lots. Or making i tso we can't take his twin brother to fun kid experiences because he flips out and we have to leave.
For my son he has progressively gotten worse and we cannot understand why. He is highly intelligent but his moods are very unstable. The littest things will set him off.

balancing the needs of my other son with his brother is getting harder and harder. His brother is going to have to go into therapy because he is starting to resent his brother.
I am going into therapy because I am starting to go insane from stress. Its cost me relationships. People don't want to be friends with us because we are not "Fun" enough and they get uncomfortable.
other parents at the school resent us for how much attention my son gets and get mad when his autism behaviors disrupt the classroom.

everyone wants to see sunshine and rainbows and unicorns for autism but ignore my son trying to kill himself or that I have PTSD now from always waiting for the next meltdown and always being on edge. I cant be positive about it. "

Often heard when describing an awtard or downy is the adjective "intelligent." It no longer carries any weight and is often used as a defense mechanism "downy kid wears a diaper and can't write or read at the age of 10 blah blah blah but he/she is intelligent!"
No, by the very definition of intelligent neither of them remotely qualify. Most people aren't intelligent, most people are average. I don't care what that stupid IQ internet quiz tells them, if Mensa wouldn't accept you then you aren't that intelligent. And neither awtards or downy have the mental capacity to take the test, let alone do well.
I used to have a cat which understood the word "no" and she would protest but obey, showing restraint. The ability to understand cause and affect gives her an higher IQ than the awtards, downys and some seemingly normal people! She was also house trained but I just couldn't inspire her to read .

My cat cleo is super intelligent also. She LOVES to kneed and her claws hurt, so I put a blanket or pillow between her and my lap, now she waits for me to place said pillow or blanket. When she wants to hop up she'll continually rub against my legs until I put it on my lap then she'll hop up.
