[quote=Anonymous]A complete stranger tried to talk to my child with ASD. He talks well, but did not talk to her and frankly I don't blame him. He started stimming which he had not done in at least a year. Luckily he got distracted by an escalator. While he was watching with glee, she told me about how she grew up next door to a retarded and mute child and she still keeps in touch with the family and could have the mom call me. She thought she was being a caring stranger! My kid has an IQ in the gifted range, but I just refused to even go there with the whole DC area my kid is smarter than you think business. Even if he were as impaired as she thought, he is a child first, not a disability and it is not her place to assume anything. I looked at her in disbelief, walked off and told my child it was time to ride the escalator. We rode it up and down a few times and we giggled and cheered the whole time! Fuck normal! I've gone quirky and it's fun![/quote]
