Advice column / Question

Sometimes, I read an advice column in the newspaper.

Last Sunday I translated it from Japanese    into English.

[Question / reader]

I'm a man in thirties. I'm troubled about how to tell my grandparents about my son's disability.

My 3years old son was diagnosed with autism that has mental disability. Though he's going to go to elementary school from this spring, because of my wife and other people who help him, he needs lots of help after that.

I have a feeling that we don't want my grandparents to be disappointed and get worried to tell about my son.

I also don't have a confidence that they will understand his disability. I'm worried that he will be labeled as a disabled child, and the relationship between them and us will be broken.

My wife and I have the same opinion that we don't need to bother saying it because they will know someday.

My parents also have the same opinion. But, It's the fact to feel guilty about hiding the truth from them.
