When ADULTS Pick On Your Kid

Post Reply New Topic

Dirty looks on their face, putting off nonverbal behavior that they are annoyed, don't like it, getting mad at the parent and maybe make comments about her raising a rude child and her not doing anything about it since parents are the ones who are supposed to raise their kids and correct their behavior and teach their child how to behave. Kids don't learn on their own.

I have had ignorant adults picking on my son. The worst part is they know he has AS and they dont think they are doing anything wrong they think my son is just being dramatic and over emotional.
They will be sarcastic when they know he is confused by something. Or they will humiliate him when he wants to do something and is having problems with it. I get so sick of explaining to people to back off. I shouldn't have to. AS or not there is no need for nastyness particularly from adults with kids.

Slightly off topic, but a worry anyway;
I was at our local swimming pool a couple of weeks back, and there were two mothers with two boys that are in my sons year level there.
J wanted to play with the kids but was getting no encouragement from the mums, the kids werent completely ignoring him, but one of the mums kept distracting the other two boys and getting them to play something with her. In the end J just played by himself. Then 2 of my neighbours showed up, and were standing in the shallow end of the pool minding their own bussiness. These mums with the kids were giving these guys filthy looks and looks of disgust. I couldn't help myself I invited one over to the edge of the pool so that I could talk to him. One of the mums was watching me, so I just stared and made a point of smiling and laughing with my neighbour. She collected the two boys and left the pool we were in.
Good ridance. You see the guys I was talking to belongs to the house next door to me. It is a supported hostel for physically and mentally disabled men. These mothers are the reason for nasty kids at school. Just because someone is different doesnt make them any less of a person. In fact it's what makes this world a more interesting place.

I'm sorry, I'm kinda confused of what you mean?

Are you asking me or the poster above you?

Sorry, I think the poster up above probably typed at the same time as I did Spokane girl. I was confused of what you were saying to me.

That is so sad how harsh Adults can be, especially about children. I know where Lainie is coming from also, I have Tourettes, and the other day I couldnt stop belching and giggling, it was bad, some woman in the next table pulled the waiter over and complained about me, and saying how i act like I'm 6 years old, and how disgusting I am, and how she wants to notify the manager on how their just letting anybody in restarants now and these days! OMGosh i wanted to just jump up and strangle her, I told the waiter, that I'm sorry i have tourettes and autism, next time I go out, I'll take my invisible pill so nobody sees me, honestly!

Some adults don't know though, so thats why now I talk very openly and loudly about my tourettes and autism, now people don't say as much, I guess maybe because their all ease dropping on my convo haha, who knows!

Siuan, Lainie, and any other parent who has problems with ppl bad mouthing their child... I would suggest maybe getting little cards that explain your childrens disability easier, so if things come up like those, you wont have to get so upset, you just hand the person the card and it won't be as stressful for the child either.

You asked me how I think most people, would react to a seven year old about their behavior if they were belching over and over especially him using bad words and my thoughts were how they might react.

I think they would have dirty looks on their face and show non verbal cues about them being annoyed by his behavior and they aren't liking it and then they see who the parent of the child is and bam they give the mother dirty looks instead and they leave the child alone and some might even make comments to the mother about her boy and maybe criticize her about her parenting like telling her to control her child or get her son to behave or tell her her son is being really annoying. They would all want the mother to tell her son to stop.

I have encountered ignorant people too...I've perfected my "death glare" which usually shuts them up .

Oh I see, lol. I have to read something over and over again to finally figure out what someone means sometimes.

Just ignore me please lol. I think I had a brain fart moment....
