[quote=Anonymous]It seems a bit cruel to your kid to not explain to people what's going on. Obviously people are going to react surprised or upset when he acts out, because, as you say, they cannot understand what's going on. The most natural thing to do in that situation is defuse it by calmly mentioning he has special needs and asking for extra patience. I think 99% of people would immediately be more understanding and relaxed. Sadly, you come off as ashamed of your son with the overly defensive 'you don't deserve my kids medical history' attitude. That's unfair to him most of all, as he sees upset, confused people and an angry Mom. I don't see how that helps him in any way. If someone is blind, and runs into people, they [/quote]
