[quote=Anonymous]God good. You people are insane catastophists. What is up with this dog business? I never ever said that he is permitted to annoy dogs. He was interested in doing so for a time when he was really little but we basically sat on him constantly.

Much of this behavior is in the past for us, in fact. This is stuff ime kids with issues do at 3-4, but we have new issues at 5. More complex social challenges that still bring the ire of others. I was trying to give examples that were quick.

Also re other parents yelling, yes, that's happened. Less actual screaming more what is wrong with you?! Type stuff. Which is kind of funny.

I understand that I may have not been communicating clearlyX I was triggered to post by a super difficult park interaction and we have not had one in some time. I was actually forcing my kid to share a toy he brought to the park unbeknownst to me - so yeah I get it happens! - and melt down after melt down ensued when it was grabbed from him and he repeatedly tried to grab it back. The most stressful part of it was trying to follow him and parents on the play equipment with their babies blocking my view.

On the whole though - the horrific adult behavior we have been subjected to is what has truly shocked me about having a child with a disability. The ignorance and intolerance is mind boggling. And you should all want it to improve because your children are indeed going to have their own issues and the world is just mean. But being mean to little kids? That's a whole different ball of wax.

And that's it. I'm not expecting to shed some light on anything for people who refuse to learn.[/quote]
