[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note to say not ALL children are on the spectrum, spectrum adjacent, have an anxiety disorder, or some other excuse as a reason to be rude to others. Seriously some people are just rude. [/quote]

23489237493 people have already said this.  OP is agreeing with all of them,  why do you need to post this?

I tell my socially awkward girl that people may think she's rude..  I guess I'm right.  People suck[/quote]

You certainly do. Stop lashing out at people for your failure to parent your child. [/quote]

Or sincerely, get them help. There are therapists that can role play all of this stuff.  Help your child.  This is extreme anxiety and is affecting their life.  My kid had something kind of like this going on that was affecting his life and we got him help.[/quote]

Is there a therapist who can role play "what to do when someone doesn't return your greeting?"  Because it sounds like some kids (or, more likely, their moms) are absolutely melting down about the horrifying "rudeness" in a way that makes me think there's something else going on there.[/quote]

No one is melting down and way to deflect.  People notice when people are rude and then [b]eventually they stop bothering to engage with the person. [/b] It's just reality.  Do whatever you want but if it was me I'd get my kid help.[/quote]

I agree with this, and it would be great if OP would teach her daughter that.  But instead, [b]she is insisting that her daughter say hi every single morning[/b], when the other kid has made clear (albeit in a rude way) that she would prefer not to interact with OP's daughter.  In my book, continuing to initiate an unwanted interaction is equally rude.  [/quote]

I'm not insisting on anything. If she were going up to her to chat her ear off, when she's not into it, I'd 100% tell her to back off. But DD just says a quick "good morning" and if the girl doesn't engage (which is pretty much always), she turns to face the street to watch for the bus to come. It never occurred to me to tell her to not do that.[/quote]
