OP is too proud to admit she started the fight (and fanned the flames) on this thread.

Let the thread die.

If she's the educated professional that she claims to be, there's a chance that everything will sink in offline and that she'll change her attitude in real life.

But you won't get anything out of her here.

No, you won't, and no, I do not think that anything that would make anyone change their mind has been stated on here. Instead, there have been nonstop logical fallacies - "I will not let your child hit mine!" "Your child does not deserve special treatment!" "You have no idea how to parent or manage behavior!" "You are letting your child hurt others and just standing there!" again and again and again. Given that such a scenario is simply not in dispute - I literally never ever said I would do that, that all came from wild assumptions - what on earth would I change my opinion about there?

I do think many, many parents in this area particularly go about congratulating themselves for their childrens' behavior and think they are handling it so well that it has produced model citizens, and are thus extremely quick to judge children who do not behave in neurotypical ways. I do think you should all pause when you see a kid clearly struggling and wonder why, and gauge whether or not 1. it really impacts you or your child. If not, move along. 2. exercise some compassion. If a parent in trying to deal with it as best they can, and you have the ability to quickly help,even if it takes a couple minutes - maybe at some point you could do so. Also, I do think you should stop taking babies in preschool areas and stop taking all your best toys to the park, and I give zero f&cks if you disagree with me on those points. Those are basic good manners and would avoid thousands of the struggles many parents with kids with any type of behavior issue endure.
