[quote=Anonymous] I have been lucky in that most parents have been very respectful, except this 1 mom who had a child with different SN than mine and that child was much older. My child with SN was in a class with her typically developing genius. She constantly reminded me I had the special needs child and that her same age kid was advanced. "Bobby blah blah blahed early. "Don't expect your Johnny to be able to blah blah blah anytime soon, because my older one didn't blah, blah, blah until blah age" "Your kid will probably never (fill in the blank). Our developmental ped said it's because..." Not once did she refer to my child without talking about SN. I know she meant well, but she seemed to think she was an expert on my child. I didn't tell her my kid already "blah blah blahed" because there was no point in doing so. He also ......on time too thanks to our great OT, but kept that to myself. In her mind my kid was "the SN kid" and was a clone of her child with SN.[/quote]
