[quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a typically developing kid.  I am reading this post to make sure that I have never said (and do not ever say) anything like what you all have posted.

I am sorry that people say things that are hurtful.  I do believe that sometimes it is said b/c of ignorance or even trying to make you feel better (but of course, it has the opposite effect).  Like the person who said Einsten had Asperger's was clearly trying to make the mom of a kid with Asperger's feel better.  You agree with that, don't you?  Do you agree that people often say these things out of ignorance and not maliciousness?  I guess it is annoying and irritating just the same.

Could you post some things that you wish people would say more often?  Could you post what the special need is that you and your child are dealing with, and then some comments that would be positive/helpful to you?  Sometimes we just don't know what to say - it is just awkward and we want to say something helpful but are afraid it will come out wrong, as is apparent, it often does.   Sorry to have intruded on your post, but thanks in advance for answering my questions.[/quote]
