I'm a bit late to the party (reading this half a year later when you reposted it on Facebook) , but I just have to nod in agreement. In light of what I've seen recently, I can only say, "Yes."

Something about parenting seems to bring out judgmental tendencies in others. You're right in that we're all human. No one will achieve perfection no matter how much we strive for it. All we can do is what seems right and feels right for our families and children at the moment...just like families with only NT children have to do. We do the best we can for our children, and I rest easy in the knowledge that every decision I make has been made with love for my son and in the spirit of doing what is best for him, regardless of what anyone else might say or think. I love who he is, and that's the best I can do.

And I'm not one of the leaders, either. Being in charge is overrated... :)
