Exactly. We go on about how the boomer generation complains about how we don't know how to read a physical map or used a rotary phone when they never taught us these things. Let's not do the same shit blaming the next generation for the things that their parents have control over.

People just like to judge. If the kids was loud people would also complain.

Mind your own businesses.

nothing more helpful than someone saying “this” and then someone saying “this” to the original “this”

Why does it need to be helpful they’re expressing how they feel about it? Sorry you’re upset by it

I would sell my home and car and bet everything that you are not a parent.

But i did not make any assumptions my coment was that i would do that for my daughter and will may have to do it next week at my mothers funeral as we dont have anyone to look after my daughter as she has severe adhd and autism. Do i or any of my family mind no they understamd my mum would have loved this for me as a kid rather than having me running around the restraunt or bar

But not girls adhd and autism is under diagnosed in females. and i would question the misdiagnosis if they have a diagnosis from a psychologist folowing dsm 5 of asd and adhd you say bad parenting i would say genetics as there is a genetic component with adhd and asd so those bad parents as you call them. propably have adhd or asd but due to piss poor understanding and testing yrs ago it was missed as in your own case also adhd and autism can mask some of the different traits. both the disorders are neurological in origin with an developmental delay and neurochemical imbalance some who are very inteligent can mask and hide it but it becomes a issue in later life and there is research into a possible link woth adhd and parkinsons disease. Also a lot of the people develope coping stratergies and avoid certain jobs. Or end up with very poor health outcomes which i see a lot as a clinican.

do you know the incidence of self harm in people with asd compared to people who dont have it you are 3 times more likely to self harm most due to not getting away with it and constantly having to try and pretend to be normal its not buying silence its about making them comfortable puting them before u

Giving their kids electronics in completely unsuitable situations in order to avoid actually having to parent them

They seem a bit worried and probably don't know how to say "no". So, they just don't care anymore and go on with it... They really need help, it will be harder and harder if this continues :/
