Mom of an autistic boy, Justine Cordule ranted on Instagram to denounce the looks and comments that some may make vis-à-vis her syndrome.
It’s the cry from the heart of a mother that launched Justine Cordule this April 23. Under a photo posted in her Instagram feed, that is to say intended to remain, unlike the stories which are only temporary, the 36-year-old mother of a large family, known for her participation in the TF1 show Large families: life in XXL, let out a rant. She who shows herself so proud of the progress of her eldest son, the bearer of autistic disorder, already regularly expresses her anguish at seeing her son be belittled by others. This is partly to explain her daily life as a mother of seven children – Timeo, TomCloé, Toan, Lilas-Rose, Lubin and Lyson – one of whom has autism and to fight against clichés, that the young woman had agreed to participate in the docu-reality of the first channel in Europe.
“I tell myself that we will judge him”
However, three years after their first appearance on television, and while young Tom has just celebrated his 13th birthday, the family’s last holidays from the North of France have been somewhat marred by unpleasant remarks received by parents. This is what his mother said this Sunday. Photo of a figurine of the video game character Mario in support, Justine Cordule wrote: “Yes yes even Mario was with us on vacation, he is also very often with us! Sometimes we manage to leave it at home but it’s complicated! I tell him from time to time ‘go leave him at home’! And why am I saying this? Because I tell myself that Tom is 13 years old and that we will judge him for always having a figurine in his hands!first confessed the mother.

“We live in a cruel world”
She then regretted thinking this way: “And then I say to myself: ‘No, but! We do what we want anyway!’ But we live in a cruel world where you are constantly judged. Yes ! Even a child is judged! And sometimes even judged by adults without pity! On the strength of this bitter observation, Justine Cordule then shared a very recent experience. “Example: the lady who told Steve this week that it does not excuse everything to be autistic! (Tom obviously bumped into his daughter without doing it on purpose) In short, it was my little story for the evening!” In the comments, family followers have been supportive of what they see as unwarranted remarks.
