Infuriating
What is termed "mental illness" runs in families.  There is enough evidence to suggest that autism is genetic.  Fire any shrink who still uses the Bruno Bettleheim hypothesis ( a cold, indifferent mother is at the root of every childhood problem).  That is barbaric and deflects from proper treatment.

God bless you for having the courage to be so involved, not every parent is.  God bless you for loving your children so much, not every parent does. God bless you
