[quote=Anonymous]I’ve always been very open about my dd’s diagnoses because it’s not like I can hide that she’s different from other kids. The proof is right there in front of everyone. I’d rather people understand why she isn’t behaving appropriately than to think she’s capable of appropriate behavior, but is just misbehaving. My dd is 15 now, so I now know how she feels about sharing her diagnosis. She shares it openly because she feels like it gives people an understanding of why she’s rigid or socially awkward and she finds that they’re more compassionate when they know she’s on the spectrum — even her peers. If you aren’t the type to share information that isn’t anyone’s business, then I think pp was right, and you should firmly tell people that they’re making the situation worse and to just ignore your dd. If you’re okay with sharing her diagnosis, I’d tell people that unless they are trained in dealing with autistic children, please stay out of it.[/quote]
