Dealing with uninformed and often unwarranted guidance about your child's condition can be incredibly challenging. It's particularly frustrating when non-experts presume to advise on your child's health or upbringing.
Although it might be tempting to respond sharply, finding a tactful approach is essential, given how frequently these situations can arise. These instances typically involve someone overstepping personal boundaries.
This isn't limited to just the uninformed; even well-educated individuals at social events or play dates can make insensitive comments. The usual scenario involves a person ... often a woman who either has neurotypical children or none at all ... giving unsolicited advice, which can leave the parent of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder feeling both surprised and upset.
