[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] Op didn’t say anything to suggest she was just standing there looking helpless. It only takes a second for busy bodies to start intervening.[/quote]
