[quote=Anonymous]Smile, don't stare is good advice. It's a shame that well-meaning people on this thread (the OP and others) are getting the impression that they shouldn't say hello to families of children with special needs. By all means, say hello! Make sure you also make eye contact with and say hello to the child, too, even if they don't appear to speak or hear. As others have said, start the conversation just as you would with anyone else at the pool. If she cuts you off, take the hint, just as you would with anyone else. Just think: your kids will have a much easier time negotiating these situations now that kids with special needs are in their schools, not sent away the way they were when many of us were kids. They will grow up to be more accepting of such differences. [/quote]
