[quote=Anonymous]You want people to be empathetic and understang towards you, but you don't seem capable of showing the same empathy to others.

You write about your son being scared of big reactions, which is fair, but you seem not to care or minimize how his behavior impacts others  especially other kids.

You don't seem to care that having a toy snatched away can be upsetting. 
You don't seem to care having a kid spit in your face or growl, or hit you is scary to another kid.

Your thought is well they don't have autism so they just have to get over it it's not a big deal which brings me to this.

You are asking for people not to assume your son knows better just because he looks "normal" , well the same goes for you, you don't get to assume and decide for other people just because their kid looks a certain way. Maybe the only way the only way they can get their kid out the door and to the park is with a bunch of toys.
Maybe the only way their little one can tolerate and enjoy the water is in  a float.

Empathy is a two way, street OP.[/quote]
