You are not a bad parent.
As a mother of an autistic child I know exactly how it feels to have your relatives give you that 'look',
when your child isn't behaving as they expect. Since our daughter wasn't diagnosed until 2nd grade we didn't know what was happening or why she behaved the way she did. We tried everything, read a lot of parenting books and listened to a lot of well meaning people who had no idea what we had to deal with.
Even after we received a medical diagnosis from one of the best behavioral clinics in the country there were still some family members who just thought we needed a different style of parenting to get her to behave.
Our struggle to get a correct diagnosis and find treatments and therapies that worked for our dear daughter is part of the reason I think our searchable database is so important to families.
Word of mouth is not an effective way to choose a college.
