I might get hate for this or I might be absolutely spot on. But do you know why I think her and little Joshy get so upset at Wilby and his autism, which clearly isn’t level 3, because he’s not the ‘perfect’ child she was hoping for. He’s harder work, he does things that draw attention to her and him, like the ‘happy hands’, which FYI bellend is stimming and he’s overwhelmed not happy, he’s probably a lot more vocal (noise wise) than the others were. She’s disappointed she didn’t give J the ‘perfect’ child so when she’s talking about Wilby and his autism it’s the poor me pity party not the ‘let’s celebrate small wins for Wilby’ party. You claimed he was non-verbal he can say colours and animals and foods - huge win. He went on an airplane and didn’t ‘meltdown’ - small win. He went into pre-school and loved it - huge win. But no, it’s turned into how hard it all is for them as parents. It’s not about you. It’s about Wilby. They were never prepared for the hard work, like I said about the potty training and the cot training, they weren’t prepared to have to spend time teaching him to talk, the papped the others to childminders to do that for them, and because of lockdown they couldn’t which is what ultimately led to Wilby’s speech delay. Have a fucking conversation with the boy, imagine never trying to communicate with your son, if we never spoke to each other we would never have learned how to communicate. He is the same, I always spoke to my daughter, even if we were in the house alone we were talking and even if what she said made zero sense I’d make up her response and repeat what I thought she should say so she would learn. It’s not all ‘cow, pig, yellow, orange, sausage’. That took a twist and turn. But back to my original point, she feels overwhelmed herself that Wilby isn’t ‘perfect’ and he stands out and draws attention to her that her kid looks ‘naughty’, he is going to be naughty if she doesn’t start teaching that he can’t always do what HE wants, like pushing other kids down slides. She doesn’t like how he is, us, we find him lovely and with the right guidance could be a little angel. It’s her that can’t understand autism and doesn’t want to understand it, she wants to close her eyes and have someone else deal with it all because he doesn’t fit in her long blonde skinny blue eyed girl picture that she thought she was going to give to J.
Hopefully some of that made sense. Like I said I might get hate for it but I genuinely believe that’s where her sadness for Wilby comes from, not for him and how difficult it is for me, it’s about how difficult it is for her.
