I have two kids , both have idiosyncratic traits from the normal regular , existence . I think sadly that both my kids were cursed genetically in a perfect mish mash of me and my wife . When you have children who have issues such as an asd condition it’s extremely hard not to reflect on your own faults . For many years , I have been told I see the world in a different way than my friends , as in , I’ll go and do something that they would deem irrelevant and to me it’s the most important thing in the world . I can’t sit start a job until I have a perfectly clear work space , it drives me to distraction . My son also had to have all his toys away etc before he is perfectly happy to start aligning his work force for the day activities . autism isn’t a new thing , it’s just more widely supported and accepted . It still has the stigma of “that bad kid in the class “ or “5”the spacker who can’t act properly at the school play” but in all honestly , I wouldn’t change him for the world , life will be tough for my little man , he has the nature that most kids his age can’t deal with , he’s never had a birthday party , or an invite , never mind a friend . But he doesn’t need one . how does he like the horses pal? I find them extremely therapeutic I hope he does as well 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But kids in the fifties had no stress because although school was a pain (literally)but there were no such things as scary exams or peer pressure or having poorer quality clothes than other kids because everybody was in the same boat. There was nothing to do in the house so you played out from morning till night. There was the baths, the picture house on Saturdays and bombed houses to explore. There were part time jobs and fights to settle differences instead of bitching on Instagram or Tik Tok. You could literally have a scrap and become friends again in seconds. I had no worries whatsoever. Enough grub, lots of friends and a feeling of belonging to the community. I have 90 odd per cent good memories of my childhood. Teenage years were a very different story. And.. We had fxck all.but we had everything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Medically and morally speaking, both are damaging to unborn babies, so, what's the difference? If we wanted to be objective then both should be banned.
