I didn't even think about it the way you ended. How do they handle their own children if they can't handle those of us that are Autistic adults or Autistic-like adults?

I was directed this way by a post on ABFH's blog. I 56 yo a self Dx'd Aspie with two aspie sons 15 and 9, and my first response to those who find "Shadow Autistics" disruptive is a bit of FU. But not sos I'd actually say that. The thing is frequently I act as interpreter for my sons and My wife (who may be shadow). I would think that to exclude Shadow Autistics or Austistics is to exclude a vital resource. I mean a Vital resource, not just valuable, NT's really don't understand spectrum kids and spectrum kids don;t know haw to talk to them. Specturm adults are not all that good but we've had a life time to learn a little bit. Heck if you find specturm adults hard to deal with how can you deal with spectrum kids, except with operant conditioning, skinner boxes anybody? I’m brand new here.
