Unconditional Love | Autism PDD

This radio program is not about unconditional love being a unconditional love being universal. It's about two instances in which the parents' love WAS unconditional. Two children who were TRULY CHALLENGING and how, in both instances, the end result was good, tho vastly different.

I appreciate what you are saying. I think it probably needs to be a separate topic, though, so that you can get more input.

I am hoping that more people choose to listen to this very interesting radio program on NPR.

Not to sound cold hearted here (not my intention i hope im not misread)

but personally related to the subject of unconditional love not the articles i wanted to comment with my thoughts

i really dont belive in unconditional love and do belive that just like a couple can get divorced a truamatic and upsetting experience between a mom and her kids

like the kid leaving home, being instatuizionalized being put through a traumatic experience which makes sense, to the mom,

but hurts the kid i really dont belive that love is unconditonal.

and that there are experinces with parents and their childeren (autistic or nt) that can severe family ties and strain them forever.

i had a freind who grew up in a rough neighboorhood in a dysfunctional family.

and i know for a fact that he has no love loss for his father hes nt and my age 21 and i know that there is no such thing as unconditional love in any circumstance things can be ruined beyond repair i have alot of life experience with this unconditional love subject i really dont believe it exsists in some cases and it has to be a very rare thing if it does in my opinion.

thanks for sharing those storiesRainman39330.6230671296

Go to the link and click on Unconditional Love. You'll hear a great radio show on the topic. One is about loving a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder, a boy adoped from Romania. The other is about loving a classically autistic boy and making the decision to put him in residential care when he became a teen. These are not depressing. They seem pretty real-life to me, though.

ooops i guess i misread the post

''
i must have been thinking of a post an another forum i read and post on Autismweb.com and thought it was related to a post

in which i read about a mother.

who had her autistic child taken from his home in restraints in the middle of the night and told the officers simply

"take my son"

and then visited him in a group home days later and coldly said

"this is your new home collen" while the boy cried

in my opinoion that was abusive and challenging behaviour to the kid and uncalled for and not unconditonal love

(the circumstances in the story i mention)

and was thinking of that when i replied to this thinking that particular one and these stories were similar.

but since these had a good outcome apprently not .

the story im thinking of had a very sad outcome for the child who was neglected since he was part of a large family and didnt have parents who cared to understand him

in my opinion those parents were somewhat challenging as well.

since they could not get their son the help he needed and resorted to instituzionalizing him.

and perhaps i figured your post was something related to that my apologies

by the way congrats on becoming a mod Tzoya

ill drop you an email sometime soon.

have a nice day
