+1 I stopped giving two shits about three years ago. Much easier to get through the day![/quote]

Indeed! When my son gets excited (and this could be caused by something as small as seeing a bird land on a signpost) he jumps up and down, screams, and flaps his hands. I've heard some parents call him weird and even tell their own children, oh don't go near that boy, he's weird.  I used to get so incensed, and on occasion have words with these people, but ultimately came to the realization that it's just not worth it. Some people are jerks, the majority are not. I'm not going to waste my time on the ones who are.

It's tough, I know it is. But in general, kids with special needs seem so prevalent, that I think most people are understanding.  We still occasionally get a side eye from some parents when he's making noises (he can't speak so he communicates through whines or grunts) or when I pull out our PEC cards and he points to what he wants to do, but whatever, ya know?
