My son is autistic and I'm not into the whole "autism is my superpower " thing. I don't think my son is special because he's autistic. He's wonderful, amazing and fantastic because he is himself. I don't feel the urge or need to educate people about his diagnosis. I'm honestly sick of people wanting to discuss it EVERYTIME they meet him. I feel like his diagnosis is blow out of proportion. To me he's just a child that has a name for the way he acts and thinks. I'm sick of people being amazed/fascinated that he can do things. Just because he's autistic it doesn't mean he can't do normal things or accomplish things! It's so degrading and I'm tired of it. I feel like I'm the only one. I feel like because my child has a diagnosis it's expected that I'm passionate about it and that I should be active in organisations and Facebook groups, but I'm not. I don't care for it, because I don't agree with that attitude that he's some miracle child just because he's autistic. Every child is a miracle.
