I completely...K, I just got around to reading this. I completely agree that mothers get judged much more harshly than fathers. I had to fire a speech therapist who constantly directed undermining and condescending comments towards me (never towards my husband). As it turned out, our son did much better with the new speech therapist so not only was she judgmental, she wasn't even very good at working with my kid.<br /><br />I hope you consider finding a new nutritionist. The judgement combined with the wackadoodle theory (there is NO evidence that fillings have anything to do with autism, give me a break) make me think you could find a better person to help R and support your family.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362712838754074396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-2241072214968145012013-01-24T02:05:48.835-05:002013-01-24T02:05:48.835-05:00I can relate to the guilt part.

She can hope to learn, eventually, how not to make offensive comments, but you could help her along by inviting her to read this post. <br /><br />Would it help to separate your feelings abt causation & R from your feelings abt her comment?<br /><br />You & DJ we wonderful parents.

But its the concluding bit that inspires me the most, we mothers deserve our love the most, because love does not come our way as easily anyway. You are super model mom, many things we have all learnt from you.<br /><br /><br />Stories Untoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731095576957990558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-22480089948748935042013-01-13T21:05:40.498-05:002013-01-13T21:05:40.498-05:00I love that your write from your heart.

There's no pretense, only honesty and an uncanny ability to seek good in each circumstance. How blessed I am to have you in my life!<br /><br />I think often on the "mommy guilt" we allow to be heaped on ourselves (indeed, we do much of the heaping ourselves). Instead of enjoying the gift. I want to enjoy the gift this year.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-1175791915359022802013-01-12T21:51:29.988-05:002013-01-12T21:51:29.988-05:00((hugs)) love your post((hugs)) love your postAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-41661061299885230882013-01-07T19:58:08.377-05:002013-01-07T19:58:08.377-05:00The nutritionist!

It speaks to me as I understand the guilt. I did the same as you when Roc was diagnosed, read everything out there, which included too many books about how some mother "cured" their child.

How dare anyone try to make someone feel guilty about having fillings in their teeth, there is no scientific basis for that. Also there isn't any evidence that autisic kids do better on organic food. You are a good mother, and R is a good son.<br />I like reading your blog.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-9009935967765232042013-01-02T03:28:34.925-05:002013-01-02T03:28:34.925-05:00What a wonderful and *thought provoking* post.

I also think, that at the end of the day it is important to be true to yourself... don't change because you feel judged. Be who you are, always! xxBright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.com
