[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having a hard time believing that a large group of parents are interested in your kid's medical history or criticizing your parenting style, or getting irate and furious with you, if you are indeed, as you represent, stepping in and handling things immediately.  And what do you mean that your son needs to be "allowed to figure this stuff out?"  How do you expect him to do that unless you or another adult correct him?    [/quote]

You have a hard time believing that a mom with a kid with autism [b]sometimes experiences tension [/b]relating to his behavior in public?  Ok.  [/quote]

But the OP makes it sound like it's all the time ("countless times"), like every time they are out in public people are becoming "irate and furious" and yelling at her or her kid.  That seems pretty extreme.  I've seen kids (whose medical status I don't know) try to cut the line, or grab someone else's ball, or have trouble taking turns, etc., at the playground, pretty often, since kids do that stuff sometimes.  And I've never seen a parent become "irate and furious" and yell at the kid, especially if the other parent is immediately stepping in.  [/quote]
