[quote=Anonymous]The first PP is an ass.  Recent data shows that 30%+ of children have been diagnoses with neurological divergences. ADHD, ASD, depression, anxiety, etc.  Being conservative, assume that a third of those kids are neurodiverse enough that it would impair their daily living, in ways, like, oh I don't know... debilitating anxiety with strangers, sensory overload in new situations, difficulty with executive functioning, and a million other ways that show up in situations like the OP describes.  So that means that, conservatively, 10% of kids out there have impairments that impact situations like this.  Which checks out with real life, doesn't it?  that "most" kids are able to handle these situations, but we all know several kids who can't. There are probably 1 or 2 kids in your kids' class that act differently, right?

As I often say to people who pull this "I'm a great mom with perfect kids, and you just need to step it up as a better mom to make your kids better...."  The reason my 10 year old kid seems rude is because they have a diagnosed condition. What is your excuse for being a rude a-hole?  [/quote]
