[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my child, too.  I don't want her to be frightened or upset either.  If your son gets unfavorable comments or a parent (or nanny - DD's nanny is fiercely protective) raises their voice to your child, it is because we are protecting our own.  No other reason.

Try thinking in broader terms.[/quote]

What broader terms?  [/quote]

Like your kid isn't standing at the very center of the universe. You're setting her up for some serious sad times. Give her a chance to not be such a giant wuss. [/quote]

No.  Just no.  My daughter is 14 months old.  I have no clue why a large five year old is spitting st her and simply will not allow it even if I did know why.  So no.  [/quote]

she never said to allow spitting. she said to have some empathy and not jump to conclusions about why it happened. It is possible to protect your kid and not be a judgmental asshole. but it is much more satisfying to judge the other mom and kid, I get that. [/quote]

Here's a thought for you and OP. Your kid has autism. Not you.   Your kid does not understand social norms.  Not you.   Your kid  doesn't understand spitting isn't appropriate and how upsetting it is. Not you.

You who understands  social behavior can acknowledge your kids misdeed, apologize for it and move on and attend to your kid in whatever way is appropriate for them without missing a beat.

You could do this. You choose not to.[/quote]
