Wow. I am so sick of hearing about this. I am so sick of hearing about autism in general. People are sheep. People are constantly looking for something that's wrong with their kids so they don't have to take the blame for being a bad parent. They will believe anything. Anything that gets them off the hook for not spending time with their kids, or explaining away behavior problems that aren't really problems. The problem that we have with children today is that they are spoiled beyond recognition.
I do the same thing with my son, and I admit it. However, my son is well behaved and polite. He wasn't raised in a daycare center from the time he was 6 weeks old. He wasn't raised by strangers. He has never exhibited any behavior that is odd for a child his age. Guess what, he had all his vaccinations at the scheduled times. Every single one, even though I thought that the chicken pox one was a little much, but whatever. People don't seem to understand that Autism is a broad spectrum term for certain behaviors. Ask the parent of a child who won't speak, and habitually stacks items if their kid has something wrong. Yes, they do. But the kid who talks, eats and changes his own clothes, but never listens to you? That's called bad parenting, not autism. People always want to pin their own mistakes and foibles on someone else. Not everyone wants to take responsibility for their own actions. I say, if you can't stay home with your kids, or work nights opposite your spouse so one of you is home with your kids all the time. DON'T HAVE KIDS.
It all comes down to materialism and narcissism today. Nobody gives a rats ass how much money you make, or how much your house is worth anymore. This is not the time to be bragging about money. Our country is falling apart at the seams and we're concerned about how much our neighbors make? Come on! Get your head out of your ass, change jobs, and be home with your kids. Take care of your family and realize that being a parent means you give up ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING for your children. It also means you do your damnedest to turn them into good people. Remind yourself of that next time you see someone disciplining their child in public. That parent could possibly be molding that child into the next cop, or fireman, doctor, lawyer, or plumber. Life is not about how much stuff you have, it's about the people in it. The people that you love, and give you joy. If you can't sacrifice for that, you are just getting what you deserve.
