For the love of milk ...I finally read some of that. For the love of milk and honey, the child is FOUR. Even if she's not on the spectrum, in my eyes she was being pretty "good". She wasn't ripping the books off the walls or something like that or yelling and screaming. She's FOUR!<br />Plus if she's on the spectrum, she's still just a cub, trying to be patience and wait her turn. What is this woman's excuse? I'm 31 and I have my moments of growling and grunting from frustration having to wait in line in front of people moving in slow motion. If I see a child who is acting a certain way I usually think, perhaps this child is on the spectrum instead of thinking the child is being bad.<br />And even if the child isn't on the spectrum,I think, this is a little child. This is a kid. Yes, the screaming and yelling is annoying, but it's just a little cub. Growing up and learning about the world. Folks have not only got to be more patience when it comes to kids and throw out the Ezzopearldobsontripp books and replace them with some Dr. Sears but they've got to have more empathy for folks on the spectrum. I only SUSPECT I'm on it and I do my share of public flapping over some pretty song making me feel all twitchy and happy.<br />Honesty. Folks should really try to be a bit less harsh.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395406512079608484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-72871157322164395132010-03-27T21:46:15.852-04:002010-03-27T21:46:15.852-04:00So well said.

Claimed she was just trying to point out she was posting something she found "humourous" that she wasn't going to respond to the attacks on blogs, twitter and facebook. And gave a link of where you could send money for autism awareness.<br /><br />She didn't get the point... at all.<br /><br />Last summer we were at my children great-aunt/uncles 50th. Their cousin came up and asked to play with my younger son. She's 2 yrs younger than he is.... (they are now 6 an 8). She took him by the hand around the room and afterwards I was told she introduced him to everyone saying "this is my cousin R. We go to school together and play at recess. He doesn't talk much".<br /><br />That is how it should be done.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-72275012782040273122010-03-26T00:56:00.637-04:002010-03-26T00:56:00.637-04:00Thanks (?!) for the link.
My initial two thoughts...Thanks (?!) for the link.<br /><br />My initial two thoughts were:<br />1) If either of my two kids were as well behaved (when they were 4) as the 4 year old waiting for the computer, I'd have been high-fiving my wife that night when I told her about it, and<br /><br />2) The author extolling HER patience and holiness. I've been "getting back" to G_d lately, and this story nicely illustrates why I left him before. Unfortunately, carrying and reading a bible does not a Christian make. Fortunately, there are also a lot of really nice people that also have G_d in their lives.<br /><br />JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-70655898173685248492010-03-25T23:26:09.684-04:002010-03-25T23:26:09.684-04:00You know what really gets to me about the post tha...You know what really gets to me about the post that you cited on your site?

I spent more time than I should have worrying about it. We live in a small town and have been working to let people know about G and his challenges, thinking that if they understood then the community as a whole would accept G. After reading the post and comments, I wondered if smockities opinions reflected what people in my town were really thinking too. <br /><br />Your post was just what I needed to read before I went to bed and spent the night obsessing.<br /><br />"Compassion is a wonderful thing; acceptance is far more fun; and sunshine is for everybody to share and share alike.
