[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just say "he's doing the best he can" to the why can't he talk comment and leave it at that.  You don't owe anyone an explanation.  [/quote] why not be honest? If it’s a kid that is going to be around your kid I think it’s fair to give them an honest answer. No you don’t “ owe then one” but it would help the SN kid more if friends had some empathy and understanding. [/quote]

Because your child's needs and diagnosis don't need to be shared with everyone especially without his consent.[/quote]

Exactly this. It feels beyond not owing anyone (like a neighbor kid) an explanation involving private medical information and is more about sharing information without consent. I'm trying to protect my child's dignity.[/quote] how’s that working for him? [/quote]

What an appalling response.[/quote]

Not an appalling response.

Pp’s answer is obnoxious. Those of us who are more forthcoming about diagnoses also care about our child’s dignity. Also, some of us have kids with visible disabilities, which makes the way they phrased their response even more obnoxious. We are all trying to do our best for our kids. [/quote]
