[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn't have autism and I think it's annoying as hell when parents let their kids bring toys to the playground. Play with your own stuff at home. [/quote]

Seriously?

This tells me that the two of you haven't taught your kids that they can't have everything they see. My guess is that your kids either snatch other kids toys or throw a tantrum that they can't have it.

Not the PP, but also someone who does not bring toys to the playground. Playgrounds are communal spaces. It's where kids socialize and learn to play together. This is better accomplished with communal equipment. My kids have their favorite toys and they can play with them as much as they want when were are at home. And they learn to share when we host play dates. But I don't want to invest that much time and energy into either teaching them to share with kids that they had never seen before or to fight off other kids. Just not worth it. Similarly, I don't want to constantly be watching my kids to make sure they don't upset another child by taking their toy. [/quote]
