Just wondering as before the holidays I was in a mess as ds had so many appointments. I had been made aware of his SPd which I had not noticed before ( more wrapped up in his more visible problems). My eldest has a friend with a dx of autisum so I asked her for some help on what I need to be doing to get him assessed / help. She brushed me off and told me he will be let down by the system at some point and I shouldn't bover. We have been very close ( round each other houses etc) and she often talks about her son dx / needs. Another one of our friends the next day asked her how she got her sons dx. Later my friend texted me and said she didn't like the other woman's attitude ( which consisted of about ten words 'how do you get ds dx?'.
I don't know I guess it's all been too much for my friend and I totally get that. Just not sure what to say to her when we go back. I am tempted to tell her ds is fine now so we avoid the whole subject totally. I guess she feels like she needs to vent to me about her son problems but isn't able to offer support. Which again I get. Should I say my sons ok ( he is so not and I would love her support as she understands / has been there and is one of my closer friends) or should I just change the subject very quickly? I don't want to upset her
