Sociopath Community

Absolutely nothing. <3 <3

But explaining to my kid that there's no such thing as Santa Claus was bad enough. He didn't get it. :O I mean it went in one ear and out the other. 4 months later he was telling me all about where the Easter Bunny should hide his candy. Hand flapping, echolalia, jumping up & down...

I shudder to think what he would do if he saw his mom kissing a woman, ya know?

There are some things that are worth the 8000 repetitions to teach him, like reading, music and counting money. There are some things that he just doesn't need to know about. I'm satisfied with what they're teaching him at school about human sexuality. I don't need to make it personal by bringing a partner home right now.

What's wrong with him seeing you kiss a woman?

He's autistic and his learning curve is unpredictable. Like I said, it takes forever to teach him certain things. So I pick and choose what's worth the effort and what's not.

So you prefer to preach ignorance in the name of a convenient answer instead of persistence to teach him a valuable lesson in tolerance and acceptance?

They teach him what he needs to know at school already.

Do you know anything about autism, tc?

I do, but that is no reason to take easy answers and expect others to do the job for you.

SRSLY? 

You're so young. Talk to me when you have to work full time and raise an autistic child. There's no shame in delegating responsibility.

Are you trying to tell me you never pay somebody else to cook a meal for you, clean or press your clothes for you, etc.,  so you have time for other things? lol

Here's a better example: Preparing a tax return. I've done my own tax returns, but the job is tedious as all get out. It's just easier to pay a professional to do it. Same deal with some parts of my son's education. I let the professionals deal with it bc I pay them to do it anyway. Why not let a more competent teacher do his/ her job and earn his/ her money?

"So you have time for other things"? THAT is how you see your kid's education? That's why you hide so much of yourself?

It looks more like you're seeking excuses for your own laziness. The education granted from a scholastic environment is not enough by itself, and often teachers may push an agenda that isn't healthy for their students. Oftentimes it's important for the parent to be a second opinion.

So far your words sound as if they stem either from laziness, from fear, of from giving up. Persistence is a valuable traits that makes for a good parent. Your desire for easy answers is shameful.

Yes I have had others do things for me, but I look into it first. For the food I eat, your first point, I am a chronic calorie counter who also looks into nutritional balances. That is putting forth an effort, unlike how quickly you are to cast your child aside for your own peace of mind.

Wtf? 

Looks like you're looking for excuses to troll somebody.

My son is in an excellent Special Needs program. His teachers all have post grad degrees in Communicative Disorders in addition to their BA and BEd degrees.

Do you go to school in an American bible belt or smthg? Hint: Canadians are very gay positive. Our schools teach our kids all about good touching/ bad touching, reproduction, birth control, how not to catch STDs and all the rest.

How does paying somebody to teach my kid so I can work my full time job and then come home to spend 4 hours cooking and cleaning make me lazy? Exactly what am I giving up? Certainly not the 6 hours/ day that are left for sleeping when it's all done.

Oh, and I do have a few years of post secondary education. I know how to research a school and its contributors and then put my son in the right program, thank you.

Damn shame they aren't sex positive.

They say the womb is sterile ahem, and it is only after birth begins and the baby is forced out that it is exposed to dangerous bacterias.

I dunno Xena, did you have a cesarean, or was it a few false starts and a long drawn out birth rupturing that oh so sensitive protective barrier?
