Do not tell me that autism means my child is broken. Do not feel sorry for us. Our family may be chaotic but we have more happiness than a lot of people. Do not tell me that autism does not exist, or that he is just being naughty. Do not tell me that a week with you would have him out of nappies and eating whatever food is put in front of him. Do not tell me that he just needs more exercise, attention or love. I have heard it all before, a hundred times over. Do offer a smile. Do be a friend. Do include him. If you want to help, ask what you can do. Its likely that we are managing, but the thought will be appreciated and we will feel supported. If we could use the help, we will feel able to talk openly to you. We are a family, just like you. We just have a little extra chaos added.
