No one really gets it unless your in it. But I’ve learnt to let go of those “friends”. It’s quite liberating. But doesn’t take away the pain

They are not real friends, he is spot on. We have been through exactly the same. Stay strong ?

Well done, every word rings true. We were told at nursery " the other children dont like him, please dont bring him back".

Christine urged others in her situation to find their own pack and called on people outside the family to be more understanding. "Don’t assume we don’t want to go because it’s difficult, our lives are difficult, often fuelled on three hours sleep. "Ask if Reilly or any other autistic child would like to come even if it’s for half an hour but definitely ask. "They (parents) may decline but I can guarantee it will be declined with grateful thanks."He asks me why he's different. Why life is so hard. He regularly mentions suicide and has done since he was 6 (He is 9 now) it's heartbreak
