[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds autistic, OP.

Shame on you for being so uninformed about psychiatric diagnoses and their presentations. Since this is your gene pool, your kids could also have autism, ADHD, anxiety, or something else, because these diagnoses tend to cluster in affected families.

Parents who tune out their kids with issues often have issues themselves, and don't know it. They can also be overwhelmed and habituated.

You're vile.[/quote]

Shame on you for implying that a bratty child must be autistic. [/quote]

Autism is nothing to be ashamed of, so no, I am not ashamed. I have an autistic child, who has inattentive ADHD and has a very passive and silent personality. But there are also autistic kids who are loud and thrown tantrums. OP's description of her niece fits that particular profile.

OP does not know what her niece has. You and I don't either, and the other PP who insulted me doesn't either. But *I* have more experience than any of you, because I have been in autistic social groups, I have volunteered in my son's special needs classes, and I have read extensively on the subject, trying to help my son, and I recognize that particular profile.

I suggest to OP that she refrain from using all the deeply offensive language she's been using so far. Either this is a normal little girl in very abnormal circumstances, or this is an autistic child. Who knows what the parent was thinking - they must have been exhausted. In the context of a funeral, I would have given this family the benefit of the doubt.

You don't know what other families are going through, you don't know what diagnoses lie under the surface. Before spewing hateful words all over the internet, think and reflect. You'll come across as more mature and wise, instead of knee-jerk ignorant and judgmental.

I've been parenting several kids for 18 years. There is no situation I've witnessed that necessitates the level of vileness OP just exhibited.
