Wondering why I have to explain a genetic speech delay my son might have to a complete stranger? 🙄

Someone asked me “what tests prove that speech delay? Explain please...” I was like say what now? Why do I have to explain anything? My son might be on the spectrum and he likely has a genetic speech delay his dad has. There’s a speech delay that runs in his family it’s genetic but we don’t know what it is.

@bubbys.mommy, right drives me cmy favorite is it will go away right I’m like no it’s a disorder it something that wired in her brain differently it’s not cureable she can get better but it will always be there

what’s really good is that I had said this on a post in an autism group on fb and that’s what this person said to me(not even the person that made the original post it was someone else) It was a friendly debate in whether you can have a speech delay or not and be high functioning on the spectrum. So many people said their kid is high functioning but has a speech issue or is high functioning with no speech issue. So I said my son has a genetic issue autism or not. And I get those people that say “you should read to him”(I do) or “he’s just not ready yet then” “how old is he?.....oh...” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Does she even know all of the steps that go into an autism diagnosis? Does she even care? I’m sorry your MIL acted so ignorant about this 😢
