Holy fucking goddamn christ your description of how you parent your child is so incredibly heartwarming! God, if every parent could care like you the world would be a paradise within two generations!

point 1 - normal styles of parenting don't work for spectrum kids, and point 2 - i fucking hated being parented in the standard way myself lol, no way i was going to subject my own child, who i want the best of the best for, to that abuse.

thank you tho
