Autism is lonely.

No one tells you that.

But when you have a child on the spectrum,
life becomes lonely.

You get excluded from things.

Not on purpose. But by default.

You have the child that is difficult.
People don’t like difficult.

Maybe it’s uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s unwanted.
Maybe it’s just not for them.

You get invited to less things.

Skating rinks have too many lights.
Fireworks are too loud.
Jump parks are overwhelming.

The list goes on.

But here’s the thing…

Autism shouldn’t be lonely.

The world preaches love and acceptance for all but I see so much more judgment when it comes to special needs children.

I see it because I am the mother.

I am the mother of a son with special needs who struggles.

And you can’t see his needs.

So from the outside, he looks like a child
who just needs more discipline.
A child who can’t behave.
A child who must not have any rules
or regulation because he can’t sit still.

I see the looks. The stares. The whispers.

I feel the judgment.

Not only for my son, but for me as his mother.

Some days I can handle it.
I rise above.
I tell myself they don’t know me or him or our situation.

But other days, I crumble.
I die a little inside.
I question my job as a mother.
I question everything.

And I get sad.
And angry.
And I wish things were different.
And I wonder why they aren’t.

And the vicious cycle continues as I spin myself dizzy with regret, resentment, angry, guilt and deep sadness.

Autism is lonely.

No one tells you that.

I hope one day, that changes.
