[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree. Offering “she has autism and your comments are unhelpful” helps provide busybodies the proper context for them to bite their tongues b/c they don’t understand. [/quote]

But it takes away from dealing with the child to stop and talk to others. I think people just want to be reassured that it's being dealt with. If you're standing there talking to other adults, trying to explain and rationalize, then the kid isn't being dealt with. The child need to be removed from the situation more than everyone else needs a discussion about what's going on. It's really none of their business but standing there looking helpless invites people to start offering their unhelpful opinions or advice.[/quote]

I'm not op. Do you have any idea how hard it can be to remove a kid from the situation? Many of our kids can't be "scooped up". Frankly, excercise some grace and patience as we try to deal with our kids. They don't need to be hidden from society because a melt down some how triggers you overbearing adults. [/quote]
