[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your solution is to further isolate her with her mom, who you think is a bad parent, instead of providing a good example of how to behave and interact with others?

And are you saying the adult cried because your niece called her kids names after they stepped on her?  She sounds like she might be too sensitive to go to the park. [/quote]

+1 Cannot believe they parent was crying! Geez![/quote]

You have no idea what was going on in that person’s life. Maybe she was dealing with some very bad news. Maybe she is going through a divorce. Maybe her controlling mother criticizes her on how she raises her own children and this stick a nerve. You have no idea so don’t judge the mother. That said, a seven year old should not be preaching to an adult about their kid. Full stop. She’s got boundary issues. [/quote]

She's SEVEN. She doesn't have "boundary issues." She doesn't even know what boundaries are. I have all the empathy in the world for the mom with the special needs child crying in the park, but I also am not going to blame that woman's troubles on a 7yo who said/did something rude. The child needs guidance. It's unfortunate what happened. But the people acting like this young child should have understood all of what you describe here and fine tuned her reaction to be sensitive to the challenges of parenting autistic children is ridiculous. I know some very mature, sensitive 7 year olds and I wouldn't expect any of them to do that. I also know very few adults who would do it that well. A lot of people are emotionally limited (including OP, based on what she has posed here) but I give a lot more leeway to a child who is still learning.[/quote]
