Friends or relatives may be more or less understanding. At the beginning and/or later on. Suprisingly friends or strangers may be MORE understanding than people nearest to us! (Just keep this in mind!)
It may be helpful to sometimes keep it vague (eg I have had ear problems or such, especially with little kiddies: or just say 'if you yell my ears will hurt'. Even if you have to repeat it 3 times, in a calm manner. And distract them with a ball or quiet play. 'Let's rather play.' Or something like that.)
Here, I will try to keep track of helpful websites, posts and ideas. :)
Christmas expected with not understanding relatives (with final development here)
