[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say something like this, as calmly, sharply, and with as much eye contact as I can spare: "You have. Absolutely. No Idea. What is going on here." (A pause on absolutely really helps.) Generally, it shames the speaker, and they stop. They don't deserve the benefit of knowing my child's diagnosis. I never share with someone that arrogant and condescending. Sorry that it happened. [/quote] I’m the pp who just gave the link to the business card but I absolutely love this as well. I 100% agree that no one is entitled to know jack sheet about your child’s diagnosis. It just depends on peoples comfort level, and the ability to be calm with the verbal interaction with strangers in the moment. Come to think of it, what you just said that you say to people could also be printed on one of these cards. I love the idea of stopping the speaker in their tracks, with whatever method works for a given parent. [/quote]
