[quote=Anonymous]  I think it is a general rule in life not to give unsolicited advice. It's like the golden rule for mother-in-laws, but in general with anyone it just rarely goes over well. Contrary to what we think, we are not world renowned experts just because we raised a kid with SN. We are experts on OUR OWN children and that is it. Even someone who is a renowned expert knows better than to accost someone in a waiting room and give them expert advise or help unless you have a life or death situation.

Here is one reason I avoid it like the plague. I have noticed the people I know who tend to impose their "brilliance" on others without asking "do you want my input" often end up eating crow at some point. Also, you open your own kid to scrutiny. If you appear to think you are God's gift to special need parenting, the recipient is going to want to check out the product of your genius and when that kid is throwing a tantrum on the floor, well the secret is out that you don't have all the answers.[/quote]
