[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that I'm in a different group where moms are begging strangers to help be their "village". The example the mom gave was a child having a meltdown over not getting candy at the checkout line. The woman praised the cashier for also telling her child "no and you need to listen to your mom." Apparently the kid instantly stopped whining. In the comments people are so thrilled when strangers stop their kids from doing dangerous things at playgrounds, aren't playing nicely or are having tantrums.

Just wanted to throw that out because there are differing views and plenty of people wouldn't have minded the cashier saying that to your child.[/quote]

Are these parents of kids with autism?[/quote]

How would anyone know? And yes, I do think that many of the kids do have special needs.

I just mean that some people want help and some people don't. It's impossible to know which. I have been upset when strangers have not helped me in the past, but then I guess they've been yelled at by other moms. It's hard to win. [/quote]

Pro tip: it is NEVER helping to chastise someone else’s child. [/quote]

Pro tip:  the village actually does work.  For many kids, at many different times.  [/quote]

You’re deluded. “The village” is not about going around sniping at autistic kids having meltdowns. That doesn’t even work for NT tantrums. [/quote]

The whole village thing is such bs when most other parents do not care about other people or other people's children. They would rather the kids with special needs be locked away so nothing interferes with the path of their perfect children.[/quote]
