nobody thinks twice about telling you that YOU are the one "making" your child so non-normative.
Hah, no doubt on that one. In retrospect my DS was 'different' basically from birth. I got comments and advise and corrections from frigging strangers just walking around the mall with him! (Clearly I had some serious blindness when it came to my son, I thought was normal for ages!) Thankfully we did not take people's advise to basically 'beat it out of him' and instead sought out a neuropsych (and that's thanks to you lovely folks!)
