Full offence but parents of autistic/ND kids need to stop literally insulting them to their faces

Context:

My 5 year old autistic brother went on a 3 day trip with my parents which was likely a stressful experience for him even tho he had a lot of fun!

When he arrived home he ran inside, gave me a hug for a few minutes, sat down to play with some number blocks (his current special interest) this was really great bc he was using a good coping strategy to de-stress rather than having a meltdown

I sat down beside him quietly and was talking to him about the blocks and he was enthusiastically engaging in conversation with me when my dad decided to comment on how “you won’t get any meaningful conversation out of him”

And it really makes me angry that this type of attitude is so common in parents of autistic kids

Growing up with your identity constantly under fire leaves you with very low self esteem so please think about what you say in front of your kids
