Honestly, yes, you’re probably going to be judged because of the way you described your son. I have a 4 year old who is pretty easygoing and an almost 2 year old with Level 3 autism. I understand how hard it can be. My son elopes, outings can be exhausting, and some days feel impossible.
But I could never say I regret having him. He’s not trying to make my life harder. He experiences the world differently, and it’s my job as his mom to learn how to support him.
Autism is hard, but there are so many resources available. Progress takes time, patience, and consistency, and it’s not easy. As parents, we’re the ones who have to put in that work. Your son needs understanding and support, not to be called embarrassing or made to feel like he’s the reason you regret becoming a parent.
I genuinely hope you find the support you need because it sounds like you’re overwhelmed. But for your son’s sake, please do better.
