<p>The last few months in particular have been banner ones for “autism experts” telling the world to fear, patronize, or ignore autistic people. You think I’m kidding?

Emotional abuse doesn’t just come with terror and threats. It can include dismissal and emotional neglect as well. When a parent goes out of their way to ignore the needs of their child, or if they are suffering from untreated mental illness, it can leave the child with a sense of being unwanted and unconsidered. Children need validation because that validation guides them toward future social skills, abilities and understandings. when they are denied that by their caretakers, it can lead to major emotional upsets later on.
