@journeywithjohnson: Being excluded as parents of a child with autism can hurt the important thing to remember is we have each other? That’s what matters. #autismmom #autismparents #inclusion ##onthisday
I’ve disused this with my husband and even some of our friends. It’s hurtful but I just try not to let it bring me down.

Do you have someone who could take care of him for a few days so you can get away together. My son and daughter in law do a couple times a year and it’s well deserved.

no ideas just understanding 💛 My brothers and their kids and my parents have stopped inviting us to anything thats not a holiday dinner. I have turned down alot of invites in the past because my youngest son wouldn’t have handled it but it still hurts to not even get the invite especially since I have 2 other kids at home that would love to go to some of the family events even if their brother and I cant make it!!

im 29, son is 9, were down to really no friends and im not invited to adult things family members do most of the time. I was very thankful that my aunt watched my son and I got to go kayaking with my cousins once this summer it had been years🥰

I just hope he doesn’t feel it like we do. It’s hard not to become shut off and bitter.

Im lucky in the sense that my kids dad is in their life so when im in TN they go spend time with their dad and I can go do whatever , but I have the kids majority of the time and they are both autistic so after being not invited to family things for years I decided to move away from it and live my own life with my bf and kids in ga so that it doesnt hurt as bad when im not invited .
