Something most people don't speak about ...

Cassandra syndrome . Being with a neurodivergent person when you are not . And having a family who is also neurodivergent. . There is support for the people but not the one poor person who has to deal with them all the time. The rejection . The being ignored and neglected and the abuse. Therapists will make excuses for them but what about the poor child abused by them ?
And I am saying by no means that all people on the spectrum are abusive .
But the ones who are .... It's not an excuse to torture people .

There are so many things I don't agree with you are saying

My daughter is on the spectrum. She is not a bully or abusive to her bother or in any way

And there is tons of support out there for someone who lives with a person of needs. My boy gets counseling twice a month just to make sure he's feeling his important and just a special as his siblings.

If your therapist is making you feel that way you need to find a new one.

Sorry this is a very touchy topic for me

@Cigarguy101 I said very directly that I was saying by no means is every person on the spectrum abusive . I guess you missed that sentence.

@Cigarguy101

You're twisting her content. Much like what that girl did in your posts accusing you of being abusive towards your children.

Excessively injecting your feelings pretty much exacerbates misunderstandings.

She is talking about a specific situation where being on the spectrum is used as a justification for child neglect. Also where the abuser is atypical and the abused can't access support.

These situations do exist. Your own life doesn't really reflect every life out there.
