babies are showered with presents love and joy before they are even born so what obligation do we have to make sure they have more presents on christmas morning 5 arguments for and against buying your baby a christmas present as much as i sometimes want to we dont pin a sign to maretos shirt explaining his autism so other people particularly strangers give us a lot of attention in the form of staring dirty looks snide underthebreath comments and just overall judgment the hardest part of autism there are gifts and there are gifts typically the ones we exchange during the holidays are perfectly fine anyone wants to send me chocolate youve got my email but face it despite the stressing about what to get and how much to spend most of what we give and get is just not that memorable what makes a gift for a child worth giving
