Do you prejudge Autistic children!?

It's one of those invisible disorders. You can't tell just by looking at someone that they are autistic. It's hard to sympathise with something you don't know is there. My partner is deaf, which is fairly invisible too. People don't comprehend that voice has nothing to do with hearing. Sure, he can talk to you, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can hear you.

Our daughter's godfather has Aspberger's. He was our other support person when I had her. I think Aspberger's is a useful trait in a birth support person. I just hate people gushing over me, but he just helped out and was as cool as a cucumber!

yes there is still a lot of that in the would today..

sadly there is a lack of understanding and welling-ness to get education on this type of thing, not just with the kids but also with the adults and so forth, the fact that we have the would wide web now there is no excuse for a lack of information other then ignorance is bless for the most of us...

i think most are happy not knowing about it and while that is the cases nothing is going to change

People may do this out of ignorance. I worked with autistic kids for 13 years. It's a challenge, but some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. The parents of autistic kids deserve a lot of credit and respect - it's not an easy life for them either.

No, I try not to prejudge anybody or any situation. Is just not ok, we don't know the whole situation nor the facts to make judgments. I neither feel sorry or sad. They are just lovely people that have a special situation but that can have a quality life just like anybody else.

Honestly i think alot of people probably have at one time or another. However after seeing numerous talk shows and internet articles on autism people now have a better understanding of it. Hopefully sources well help educate people and allow them to be less judgmental toward autistic children.

i have seen many children with this and it is sad they don't get enough credit for the hard work they have to do with there child don't get me wrong though having a child with no problems is hard work but it is just Little bit more of a struggle when your child has a disability and the people that have a comment to make to the parent Letting there children scream in the shops le them they don't know what you have to deal with and they don't know your situation so i say forget them and just do what you have to do

I have often thought that it would be "easier" if my daughter had Down's Syndrome because at least then people would "know by looking at her". Now, I get "LOOKS" like "why are you not parenting her better". So I do my best. Use the same tone that I would use at home, and talk her through each problem, each tantrum, each hug that robs you of your breath:)...........

My daughter is amazing and it is "other people" that do not see her for her beauty, but once you get to know her, you can't help but to love her to pieces.

So yes, I agree...............people often judge without knowing the situation.

I didn't know much about it until my son was born with it. My focus then was on him (12 and doing wonderfully, thank you), and peoples' judgments are their own problem.

nope i do not.
