[QUOTE="Malika, post: 469141, member: 11227"] Yes, that's all very fine but... what about people who don't have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) learning to take another's perspective? From what you describe, there wasn't a whole lot of that going on in the library last night among all these "normal" people. The girl over-reacted in a way I find bizarre and so much more so her father... at the same time, MWM's point is fair - there is usually a story behind an over-reaction. But if you can't understand that a young boy with special needs might do something like that, well... If I had been sitting there in her place - yes, even at her age - I would have just smiled at him, though I might well have felt a little uncomfortable too. What is it with people that, when you explain to them that your son has special needs, they don't then look crestfallen and a bit shamefaced and back off saying "I'm sorry"... ? How sad for your son. I'm sorry it happened. [/QUOTE]
