[quote=Anonymous]I think you might want to consider thinking about strategies for your child.  You said it made her uncomfortable.  Perhaps work out a response she can give - like "lots of people are different in the world" or whatever is age and personality appropriate.  It is probably an issue she will face again - as there will always be kids who try to subtly bully her via references to her sibling.

If you feel like the parents of the NT child are flexible/kind - approach it as a "I know your child is a great kid, but they said something I would want you to be aware of".  That is always the way i approached teachers - "we think X is a great kid, but yesterday my darling child said that X said .... and I wanted to let you know it was an issue so you could be aware of the situation."   Starting with the presumption that the kid is a good kid and just needs some coaching is probably the best framework.

Also, remember just cause you think a child is NT, does not mean they are NT.  As neighborhood kids have aged, I have learned that almost every kiddo has an issue - it might just be a challenge or it might be a true disability -  this one has ADHD, that one is dsylexic, that one has impluse issues, that one lisps, that one's dad is a jerk and they are getting a divorce.........[/quote]
