Be patient with "that parent"

Please be patient with that parent in the waiting room....yes the gorgeous little guy next to your child looks "normal", you have no idea why we are jumpy and worried about our son showing signs of being a little pushy....lucky for you we are.....we are concerned that our son will bite your child....you did not seem to notice that our son did not walk up, look at your child and and gently show signs that they wanted to join in.  But our son didn't, he smiled when he saw the toy, sat next to your child and then started playing with the big wooden toy, saw your boy on the side he wanted and started to push your boy out of the way.   This is when you decided that we were shite parents because we could see the next step for our son was to reach in for your son's hand to show him exactly what he thought.  But no you advise us that you are a fully qualified ECE teacher (preschool teacher), so you reason with the boys.....when you notice that your son is having to make all the allowances you take your son for a walk.....because obviously we have no idea how to raise our son.  And to be honest I really could not be bothered explaining that Edward is autistic and having to apologise yet again when I an feeling I really have no reason to apologise....  For your assumptions.  You did not seem to realise that Edward said oh if any words in front of you would have been 2 words max.   - vent from this autism mummy.
