Truthfully I feel like I could have been a ND kid tho don’t quite know the official standard. My parents thought I had autism when I was really little. I would talk to myself a lot and have nervous ticks.
Eventually I guess I learned the “social language”. It was as tho there was a social formula I didn’t quite understand yet ….
I applaud you for caring so much about your kids to even make a group like this. Wow. It’s truly touching.
Although I don’t have kids yet I do want to be extremely mindful when I do to make sure to catch myself when I was triggered for being different…awkward or they told me I was “weird” 😔
All the best ~
