[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you say these terrible things to the parent of an ASD child, learning disabled, ADHD??

Unusual brain wiring can be difficult to manage, and it's stigmatized to be weird or a nerd or whatever, and whenever we say anything we get these "cry me a river" sorts of responses.  [/quote]

I don't know. I've had plenty of mean things said to me about my child with language based learning disabilities and ADHD about how my kid doesn't "try hard" and is "lazy."

But the OP seems to be referring to the PARENTS of the kids. The parents really need to get it under control. It's like the parents at the rec league soccer and baseball games who are raising their voices loud enough for the ref/umps to hear. Give it a rest.

I saw a 4th grader ("Joe") melt down and end a lifelong friendship because one friend ("Bob") got into HGC and "Joe" didn't. That sort of pressure comes from the parents. And now both "Joe" and "Bob" are in the same MS Magnet and are pretty enemies (name calling, fighting during Outdoor Ed). So freaking sad.
