[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would match the kid's tone and push back. "What's wrong with YOU? That's a very rude way to start a conversation and I think you know better." It is hard because they are using the trappings of propriety to be mean...so you do the same. I am not SN or mother of an SN kid, but I agree with the pps who are closer to this that "nothing is wrong with her" is the wrong way to go. It doesn't acknowledge her clear difference and you lose credibility with the kid--and with your daughter, who is surely painfully aware that she is visibly different. The lesson you're imparting to the rude kids isn't "she's not different" but "differences are not an excuse for rudeness."[/quote]
