It's stressful for anyone to have anything wrong with their family. We can share sympathy, while it may be for slightly different things. ♥ My mom's been fighting with the government for a lot of different forms of aid for years now, it's ridiculous. Things are expensive, and just because we make a little bit more than what they call the requirements, doesn't mean we don't still need the help. Speech, pull-ups, medication. This all costs shit, and we have other things to pay for, but like they care.

I like when you can have friends and an extended family that understand. My closest friends offline know how my family works, and thus are welcomed. They've even been accepted by my brothers, although that's probably scarring when the twits decide to get new pull-ups without an old one on, they're so comfortable with them. And my dad's side of the family is constantly prepared to help out, along with my mom's father.

But some aren't so lucky. It's a shitty life that they don't look further into, don't know the restrictions that a family has. You can't stay in a public area for long because of the risks of tantrums or other problems. It just makes me want to rip my hair out. They just don't think.

♥ Thanks, I'm certain my mom'll rip them a new hole and things'll get fine. The same to yours, if any problems arise.

♥ Oh man, the screaming fights my mom has had with some people. My local high school was DETERMINED to flunk my brother out for missing almost a month's worth of classes, back when he attended - he'd been diagnosed with arthritis that year and was sometimes in so much pain he couldn't move. =/ It's ridiculous, the kind of things you have to go through. >>; People don't realize how expensive it all gets. My family doesn't even have insurance, and things are even MORE expensive when you're self-pay. it's like they're TRYING to screw you over, sometimes, I swear.

Yeah, I know what you mean, though from a different perspective. A good childhood friend of mine has an autistic brother, and he's a really sweet kid, but he has trouble with outsiders sometimes - he and I got along, though. And my friends were always understanding of the things I went through, thankfully. My family, though. =/ extended, I mean. some were helpful, some were not. that was hit and miss. but your family sounds amazingly supportive.

exactly. those kinds of ramifications aren't things being taken, y'know, into consideration, I feel. I get the feeling they're not exactly worrying about how they will handle a classroom environment, or public interaction, or what have you. -_-

X3 your mom sounds like my mom, haha. thanks! ♥

Mothers can get vicious with people about these kinds of things. It's amazing. I swear, some of the things I've seen when she's gotten downright furious with someone over something... I'd never want to be any of those people. And I've even gotten nasty with people. I beat the shit out of someone that was harassing the middle brother, once. Really, I don't think they expected it, but I was justified and they deserved it. (My "punishment" was worth it, too. ISS is boring as hell but I can entertain myself with RP and general smut thoughts easy.)

We have insurance, but uh. It doesn't cover half of the stuff we even need it to. I'm at least happy that the school pays for my youngest brother in Damar, and our gas and meal when we go to visit him. Really it's their fault for hiring such an incompetent woman who can't understand how to handle a class of autistic children.

They're thinking about the private life, which in itself isn't much fun either. I can tell when my brothers get frustrated over not being able to communicate with us properly, and it's quite often. The handicaps really are that, people. Handicaps. Disabilities and conditions come with them, and they aren't fun, for the person who has them or the people around them.
