Australian Lisa Bridger, 46, revealed in a Kidspot post in June that she still feeds her autistic son Chase, and his four-year-old brother Pheonix, who is also autistic.
She defended her choice, saying breastfeeding calms them .
Since she has been was bombarded with cruel comments claiming she was damaging her child - and even accusing her of child abuse and incest.
In an open letter posted to Kidspot today , Lisa said she would have continued to breastfeed Chase until he no longer wanted it, even if he didn’t have autism.
She wrote: “To the adults who have commented that I am sick and need to get help, there is nothing mentally wrong with me, I am only doing what is natural.
“It's not a sexual act, I’m not a paedophile which is what quite a few have suggested.
“My son is very independent, self-assured, not damaged. His friends and peers don't tease as they have been educated in the fact that what he is doing is ok.
