I think both voices can be valid, depending on context. I wasn't diagnosed until age 13, and my mom *repeatedly* went to bat for me against an unsympathetic and oppressive school district, both before and after the diagnosis. (cont'd)
It's only since my 30's that I've been able to really appreciate and comprehend the level of stress she must have been under on a daily basis. Raising an allistic kid is tough at the best of times, and it would be the height of hubris for me to downplay the effort she put in.
