I can't comment, since I am one of the parents with a daughter who can sometimes be annoying to others in restaurants.
We try to teach her how to behave properly, but she has autism and pretty significant sensory issues.
My question is how can one expect these children to learn to behave properly if we don't keep trying to teach them? She has gotten better.
I agree with Callaway. I have two sons on the spectrum..and sometimes they are the ones who sometimes get "The Look" from other people. if their behaviour is significantly affecting others and there seems no end in sight, I leave with them, so as not to disturb anyone further.
are you sure that they weren't just staring at your hair?
I'm sure.
people do that, too...but there is a different sort of vibe that goes along with it.
one vibe, people think I am going to stab them and eat their brains...
the other vibe, they think I'm the world's worst parent and my kids are monsters.
have I mentioned that people are assholes?
