Merail-
I went to sleep feeling quite sillly for feeling so invested in this nobody and being vitriolic on here, as at least she’s finally addressed it, but I’m comforted to see others feel the same.
Pregnancy hormones maybe but it’s one of my biggest fears that my children will have mental or physical additional needs. Not because I’ll love them differently, but because I don’t want them to face challenges in a life that’s already hard, feel different or rejected, struggle to make sense of things that come easily for others, have to fight for help. I’d be worried for them, how we’d manage as parents, how our lives would change. I just want to protect them from difficulty in their lives. How she can be so blasé just blows my mind and makes me feel so sad.
I was recently reading the thread about violent autistic children to try to gain understanding (an autisic teen keeps breaking into our property, we’re working with their Mum) and what the parents and children are going through is heartbreaking. Ashley is either supremely naive, supremely arrogant, or sticking her head in the sand, I can’t wrap my head around it.
I’m sorry to anyone who found the way she delivered her latest revelation triggering 🤍
