[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SN kids needs do not matter more than normal kids needs. Our rule is you must be kind and polite, and I don’t see anywhere that OP’s kids weren’t.

It’s a slippery slope to teach kids their feelings don’t matter and they shouldn’t speak up when something makes them uncomfortable.

As for the bowling example, do you really think it’s ok to hold up the entire party for one kid? Why does his right to bowl supersede others?[/quote]

No one has a “right to bowl”.  The kids were being kind and polite. Just like you teach your kids to be- oh wait. Maybe not. I guess in that situation your kids would be whining that the severely autistic child was taking to long, and you’d be telling their parents that their child is taking too long and infringing on you child’s right to bowl. [/quote]

Np here. The situations are entirely different. The kids at your child’s school sound sweet and well-supervised and I’m glad your child has a great school! However-its completely unreasonable to think op and her children should assume just because this child is unpleasant he has an undisclosed  special need and his preferences therefore rightly supersede theirs for the rest of the summer. That is nothing like waiting while a severely autistic boy is assisted during a bowling outing! [/quote]

I don't disagree, but I am still very grateful that my child will grow up with lots of exposure to kids who have profound special needs.  I think that he and his peers will learn that we live in a diverse society, and they might have compassion for kids who are different.  [/quote]
