You said it much better than I ever could...
It makes me very sad to see such a lack of tolerance in the human race. At the end of the day, we all bleed red. I like to believe lot of it is a lack of knowledge, because I hate to think that some people are just that stubborn and narrow minded
I am not going to pretend to know how it is to parent, because I am not yet a parent. But I can imagine how one would feel. This is not my first time, of course, but just this past summer I had a child on the spectrum in my summer program. While I was fully aware of some of his sensory sensitivities, its impossible to control what happens out in public. And the looks alone (I won't even touch on what was said to me) when he reacted, and it didnt matter that they were mild and easily managed, were enough to cut you down to the quick
And he was very aware of what people were saying, what was going on, too. THAT makes me mad
I agree with this so much - children learn from what they see, what is modeled to them. To stay on topic with the thread - what frustrates me about halloween, is never ever the children, usually its the adults - the ones that I know. Who sadly fall into that category of stubborn and narrow minded. And consequently, rude.
Breeze, I bet I'd love your kids
Hey, actually I hope I get to mee them someday!
