[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to think I have a polite kid most of the time.  But there's one skill that my ASD 5 yr is lacking from time to time - taking turns.  He does on occasion grab a toy or get in front of the line.  Whenever I see it, I reprimand him and we go over again and again.  We had a situation yesterday when my son cut in front of the line at an ice cream shop and was yelled at by another parent.  Even when he apologized, she continued yelling.  He stood there [b]and then started yelling himself "do you like when people shout at you like THIS? IN YOUR FACE?" [/b] She then started calling him names and this is when I just couldn't take it and called her on her "excellent parenting skills" right in front of her children.  Mind you, her children were much older than mine and they looked embarrassed for their mother.   She stormed out of there cursing us, poor ice cream shop attendants kept apologizing to US for whatever reason.

So fellow SN parents, how do you deal with parents like that?  And yes, DS was reprimanded for cutting in line and yelling because, unlike some people, we don't yell and speak calmly.  [/quote]

Meh, your kid acted like a jerk for saying that.  Did he apologize and then go to the end of the line to begin with or did he just sorry in a bratty tone and stay in the front of the line? Where were you?  At five, non-ASD kids will try and cut the line, you have to remind them there is a line and to wait in it.

Do you like when people yell in your face? Do you think that's very mature?  I think the kid handled himself quite well, he stood up to a bully.  Sure, cutting in line was bad, but he did apologize.  Not a lot of adults can do that, let alone kids.  [/quote]

+1 I thought given that she continued to yell at him and call him names this was an excellent response. Kudos for your kid.

I thought it was verboten to yell at a five year old much less call him names. [/quote]
