[quote=Anonymous]I don't think OP thought the comment was rude. Just that it stings to hear.

I hear ya, OP.  Our 5 year old is adhd and has a lot of social interaction problems in preschool (and has for years). Not so much from the teachers, but i find the other parent comments so stinging - even though they are meant to be totally kind and from friends. Things like "he did great today!" at a birthday party, even though the other parent doesn't know he officially has a problem.  The parent is being really nice and encouraging, but it's a reminder to me that the other parents and kids are talking and feeling sorry for us and wondering what the deal is.  For so long, when he was  a little kid, his issues were able to fly under the radar because all kids had behavioral problems.  So no one is being mean or rude, but it's sad for me to hear those comments.

But i AM oversensitive. I know it. I always have been. And my son's issues are my most personal, sensitive issue these days.  So no wonder it bugs me. [/quote]
