[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a child with HFA here. I would never expect anyone else to adjust their behavior because of us. I also don't give a shit what anyone thinks or says when (for instance) my son throws himself on the floor somewhere because the day isn't going as it should for him. My concern at that point is getting him up and out and calmed down. I generally ignore what anyone is saying about me or him at that time. Because they aren't my priority.

At the pool or anywhere else, if he starts to bother others and doesn't listen to me to stop doing something, we leave. Again, at that point, I could care less what others say to me/him/think about us. He is my priority.  If someone knows us enough to have seen us out and about before, they have likely realized that his reactions aren't the same as other kids his age. If we are friends, they know my challenges.

Basically, OP, my question to you is this: what exactly is going on that so many people are so unhappy with you and your kid that they are getting furious with you!  Are you doing any ABA/social skills groups?  This might be the best way for your kid to learn social interactions before you piss off the whole neighborhood (which you make it sound as if is what is happening).[/quote]
