[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those off us who have SN really really don't have the responsibility to school the rest of you.  I have made some suggestions on this thread but reading the defensive and pissy responses from some parents of typically developing kids just makes me regret even trying to help.  Get a clue, but don't depend on us to get it for you.[/quote]

I'm a parent of (supposedly) NT children but I do read this forum.   What I have gained from this thread is that I will only talk about the weather with parents of Special Needs children.  I won't talk about my children nor ask about theirs. [/quote]

I agree.  I started the thread, "My Toddler is annoying!!! On the GP board which got partially hijacked into an attack on SNs by a SN parent. While my child is also (supposedly) NT, I was a SN child and the bitterness and anger shown on this thread is one of the reasons I don't have much of a relationship with my parents as an adult.  Thank God my SN was such that I could get away.[/quote]

Wow, these are very strange and uncharitable posts. Several people, myself included, answered the "what SHOULD we say?" posts earnestly, totally accepting the good-intentions even though it wasn't the point of the thread. Look, I don't mind "educating" a little if I am asked to but why would you expect everyone to? Some people would like to assume tolerance and respect and empathy and feel that it is not their lot in life, on top of everything else they have to do, to teach them. As for the vents themselves, all I can say is that I guess you just can't relate... but you must understand what venting is and the purpose it serves no? Don't you people have anything better to do than look for ways to be offended?? [/quote]
