[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good god, op here. Your willful insistence on completely refusing to comprehend what I actually said is amazing. I did it ask for special accommodations. I asked that you keep your babies out of playgrounds marked 3-5 and out of the big kid pool arear for 3-5 when there are baby parks and baby playgrounds. You hover over your kids creating a huge logistical block for those of us with kids with special needs who need to closely monitor. You also hugely react if my child say blows a raspberry in your direction. That's not hurrying anyone. It's annoying. Maybe it warrants a telling him off but you frankly can't tell off a child with autism for every odd behavior. So parents telling me, your child just spit at me, etc. these are the issues I'm talking about. My kid isn't aggressive he is odd and it confuses parents more than children.

If you have a hard time believing that my child hasn't been yelled at numerous times for things like making faces at babies, growling at them, [b]spitting, not waiting a turn even when I'm there to hold him back,[/b] you don't live in my world and Rabat my point.

As for the other kids with autism being similar I didn't say all but seeking reactions is indeed fairly common. [/quote]

See, that's not okay [/quote]

Again, she KNOWS it's not OK.  It's behavior she's working on him with, closely.  She's asking for a little tolerance and understanding that her challenges may be bigger than yours (yes, even perhaps bigger than other parents with ASD kids).  [/quote]

So being "understanding" is expecting no reaction from a parent and child who is being spat upon?[/quote]

+1.  OP, you apparently expect people who don't know about your kid's challenges to magically be more "understanding" when he spits or growls at them?  Come on.  Spitting is one of the more aggressive acts out there, and people react instinctively to it.  While I appreciate that your kid needs to learn these things, if spitting on other is a constant issue you may need to rethink the frequency of your kid's interactions.  Or at a minimum, accept that people are going to be pissed about it (and recognize that they have a right to be) and express their anger.  [/quote]
