[quote=Anonymous]A few more thoughts: Make it possible for your kids (if you have them) to approach special needs kids. Don't yank them away if they wander over, even if they stare. Let an interaction begin, even if it begins awkwardly. Don't be one of those moms who pulls her child away out of excessive fear of rudeness. It feels very isolating. We can handle a toddler or young child asking "Why does he do that?" or "Why is she using that chair/chew thing/other" Don't be embarrassed if your child asks natural questions. Make it possible for your kids to be introduced. Don't yank your kids away like they've done something shameful, because they haven't. When you do that, you are teaching them that approaching SN kids is wrong. Being invisible hurts just as much as being bullied.[/quote]
