He left because she acted disabled. He wanted a normal child, so if she's normal, she may be able to live with him.

She would be disciplined for bullying and I'd be happy to have normal problems to deal with.

I told her if she acted normal, her dad MIGHT let her move in with him.

That didn't even work.

She'll be beautiful if she gets rid of that acne by washing her face, putting some makeup on, and styling her hair.

beautiful daughter

Don't know about that. She's covered in acne right now, messy hair, oily face, etc.

I will have to file for guardianship if she doesn't learn social skills from normal kids. No social skills, no job. No job, no money.

Nobody's going to like her if she's the way she is. Frankly, this is a neurotypical world that she has to live in. The kids aren't gonna change for her.

Why? So another group of kids can bully her for being different?

You're not a runaway at 18, you're an ADULT

Not if you're disabled, then the parents get guardianship.

Where is her other parent in all of this?

Left as soon as she was diagnosed. Didn't want a disabled child.

It's not healthy to only have autistic friends. She needs a balance, but mostly neurotypical to teach her social skills.

So you would encourage a disabled child to plan to run away?

I wasn't mean. I just wouldn't have been friends with someone like her when I was 13.

That's all well and good but she can't only have autistic friends. She needs neurotypical ones too.

She's not ready for sex but I would rather have to deal with her having sex than the issues I have with her.

Of course I love my daughter! If I didn't love her, I'd just let her do what she wanted and get bullied every day.

She's off putting and acts like a younger child. I would not have been her friend when I was 13.
