Imagine buying your 7-year-old autistic son a 'pink' iPad to help him learn, only to have your own mother disapprove and call you an a**hole. That's exactly what happened to one mom who just wanted to support her son's education. The little boy, who adores the color pink, chose a rose gold iPad, but his grandma was far from pleased. Let's dive into this family drama and see what went down. 😬

The Great iPad Debate 🥊
So, here's the scoop: a mom buys her autistic son a 'pink' iPad to help him learn at home, but her mother is far from supportive. Grandma thinks they're spoiling the child and setting him up for teasing. The mom, however, believes it's a great way for her son to learn at his own pace, without the pressure of sharing a single iPad at school. The color choice? Well, that's just the icing on the cake of this family conflict. Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation... 🍿
