Multiple posters have said that SN kids are the exception. No one judges (or should) you or your child. [/quote]

And multiple posters have responded that you do not necessarily know if a kid has SN or not. As parents of kids with not-obvious SN we have no obligation to explain our kids' diagnoses to strangers.  So you are going around making blanket judgments about kids who are not potty trained (or don't behave exactly as you think kids of their age should behave, or whatever), you are almost certainly judging some kids who have SNst. If you would stop judging others and just worry about your own life, you would avoid being a bad person who judges children with SN plus you'd have more time on your hands to do something positive with yourself. You're welcome! [/quote]

Also, when it is random kids being judged, not only is it not necessarily obvious that there are SN -- you probably also don't know the child's actual age (46.5 months!!!).  A friend's 2yo is larger than her 4yo.  The 4yo is on the smaller side, but not remarkably so, but the 2yo is off the charts.  People constantly assume that there's something <<hushed whisper>> "really wrong" because they think the boys are either 4yo twins or that the 2yo is older but has significant delays.  Nope.  He's 2.

It's fairly normal to make snap observations and assumptions about things that seem outside one's own definition of "normal" but, really, who cares?  What does it matter if it's a matter of SN, constipation, lazy parenting, a kid who is stubborn as fuck?  Unless it's your kid or is impacting you PERSONALLY, I just don't understand why people care so very much about things that have zero impact on their families.

Because it makes them feel better about themselves.
