That's not been my experience, but of course that's just me. I've never been to any therapy, but you can read of how this technique is used professionally on others:

You are talking nonsense, what exactly can you tell? I can tell you are increasingly beginning to sound like a troll!

Children certainly don’t come with an instruction manual .
If Haynes had provided a hardback for each model of child I brought into the world I’d have found raising all three a little easier.
Meltdowns in public?
There’s a quote from the book I think (earlier in the thread)
Read the words, it’s all about her and feeling ashamed due to what she imagines other people were thinking.
Where’s the part describing what her son may have been feeling?
What did she do to try to understand him and what’s happening? protect him? Soothe him? Get him away from those triggers (when possible and if applicable)
??
In my humble opinion, her response to Zacs melt down reads as completely selfish. First priority was her image not Zac.
Perhaps if she’d have been watching zacs various stages of meltdown for the moment when one can approach she wouldn’t have noticed any reaction from anywhere else?
Who can say?

You wrote describing raising an autistic child was like living in a war zone.
It really isn’t.
I’ve done both, I am fit to make that statement.

What on earth has masterchef got to do with all this? There's no way you're not trolling.

exactly right.
it's an epic story about the fate of human kind.
What in particular do you want to point out
from this "epic"?
I find that hard to believe, but assuming it was, what exactly has that got to do with this child and his mother?
everything. feel the poaasion of the words and join the forum.
This makes no sense.
Why are you recommending people to join a forum for the big brother TV program?
This is spam.
What about 'peck'?
I haven't read the book but plan to buy it tomorrow. Any book that generates this degree of discussion, controversy, insight, praise and damnation is probably worth reading for those on the spectrum and those who live on the fringes of the spectrum like NTs who are parents of autistic children.
I thank those who posted here about their personal experiences with being forced to do things they did not want to do as children, and whether those experiences were ultimately good or bad for them. Lots of food for thought here.

Has anyone here besides me ever been ghosted by a friend before? I just want to know that i'm not alone in this, if others can relate to me.
