[quote=Anonymous]Op- to the narrower question of whether to mention your child’s diagnosis in tense social situation, I have found that in situations where my asd son’s actions are visibly angering or irritating a stranger, mentioning that he is on the spectrum visibly reduces the stranger’s anger. (Yes, I always address it with child as quickly as possible, he does 20 hours of behavioral therapy a week, I am not even what you would call a super positive fluffy few-good parent) but yeah.. you can’t predict every situation ahead of time and sometimes he is *so fixated* on desired outcome/object/topic ANd he seems high functioning enough that it helps to explain the situation lest a stranger’s irritation inflame the situation. But it is relatively rare that I think the situation gets tot hat point. Ps: I’ve also shared the diagnosis with people who *insist* that his behavior is ok and I should stop trying to modify it!
