Hang in there! I know the feeling all too well. My husbands family doesn't understand autism and haven't made an effort to learn about it. My mother in law used to tell me if I took her out more often it would help her. I took her everywhere as a baby and we did tons of things with friends, etc, so that was not it, lol. They stopped making comments after a little blow out we had in April. Now, they don't ask and I don't tell about my daughters schooling, progress, etc. Its sad, but less of a headache for me. My dad hasn't made any more comments about my daughter after I told him what strangers have said to me about my daughters odd behaviors. He thought she was just whining and needed her butt spanked.
I video taped all the autism shows that were on earlier this year. I am sending it to my mother in law so she can watch it and see what the other families and children are dealing with, what they go through, etc. We live 4 hours away from them, so they don't see the everyday stuff.
Good luck, I hope it gets better for you.
