I think the post above gets at the conflict that sometimes comes with SN parenting and parents who don't live this everyday.

I think judgy parents sometimes think these kids do the behaviors they do because they lack discipline, and disicplining them will get them to stop.

(And yes we don't even think your child did the action in this incident).

As the parent of a SN child who does, unfortunately, engage in inappropriate behaviours, I'm often torn between an intervention that takes into account the antecedent and incorporates an appropriate consequence, and feeling the need/pressure to show other judgy parents I'm on it. Because if I'm not on it, it must be my fault, right???  [/quote]

My point is, if OP feels that these people are judgy and viewing themselves as better than her, she needs to evaluate why she is choosing to spend her time with them.  My son has SN (not ASD) and can have trouble behaving appropriately for his age.  If I felt that someone was regularly blaming me for his behavior, I would not hang out with them anymore.  If people are my real friends, I don't need to "show" them anything.[/quote]
