[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, some of you sound like you want to dislike or judge the parents of normally developing kids.  
Have you ever thought that maybe (some) people are genuinely trying to be compassionate or thoughtful?  
People don't always succeed in getting their intentions across.  One would think that parents of SN kids would know this better than anyone and take the kindnesses, however awkwardly worded, in the spirit in which they were intended.[/quote]

You missed the point. look at the title "well meaning parents." We know they didn't mean harm, but we have every right to vent.I don't know many people who enjoy pity or laypeople acting as experts regardless of whether or not their child has ASD.

You don't get it know. One day you may have your "a-ha" moment. Maybe you will have a grandchild or niece or nephew with SN and you will hear the anguish of the parent and understand how important it is to THINK  before you speak and ask yourself "how would I feel if someone said this to me?"
