[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blah. Just a vent. Took my kids to a restaurant for lunch. One of my kids, he's 10, flaps his hands constantly at his head; he can't help it. At least 3 grown ups at different tables are staring. I'm merely venting. I've becoming SO much stronger, not much gets to me. But every now and again I am aghast at grown ups who should know better. And the lady who stared and then tried continually to get my eyes and give me sympathy look. Arghh! I wanted to fling my food! Just wanted to enjoy our lunch, focus on each other but blah. Okay I'm done. [/quote] Get up, walk up to them and tell them there's a fee to pay if they want to continue staring. They'll be so embarrassed they'll stop. That's what an acquaintance of mine who has a child with Down's syndrome does, and it works.[/quote]
