Do not want to ask you to click a link since you dislike doing so, but did want to tell you that I offered a much belated thanks to you at the bottom of my post today, copied here to save you the click (the hyperlink back to your site won't transfer in the copy though):<br /><br />Thanks: Back in October when I asked for reader opinions, five folks took the time to comment. Although I have taken their comments to heart, trying to focus more of my posts on sharing about faith, special needs/sensory stuff, resources and practicality with joy, I have not yet thanked those readers here on the blog. So, I am doing so now Heidi, Dandelion Wishes, Mama Pickles, K- floortime lite mama<br />and The girl who painted trees. I appreciate your comments and will continue to try to post ideas and activities that you can enjoy and learn from.Martiannehttp://traininghappyhearts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-81183491023457190582012-02-07T23:29:45.446-05:002012-02-07T23:29:45.446-05:00Great post!

I agree, it helps to take a step back and try to see what the intent was... when I feel like someone means well it is easier to focus on the intent more than the words. Also, considering that as parents we go through different emotions at different times, something that might rub us the wrong way at one time may sound more encouraging at another time.danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-68268975925152847022012-02-07T22:29:24.742-05:002012-02-07T22:29:24.742-05:00I so know what you mean ..

After my son was diagnosed I even felt bothered by a friend who got me an autism puzzle piece pretty pin from Autism Speaks. Even that was jarring to me, because I was still in the acceptance phase. I have had to remind myself again and again that most people truly do want to help. That is a very good point that we have to look at the intent, beyond just the words.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800776640283977394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-15675632891970699722012-02-07T07:36:39.859-05:002012-02-07T07:36:39.859-05:00OMG my blood was boiling on reading about your ne...OMG my blood was boiling on reading about your neighbor's "help"<br /><br />Kris - that one would be very hard to get over <br />hugsFloortime Lite Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988840423227903784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-72098622254199286442012-02-07T07:35:13.516-05:002012-02-07T07:35:13.516-05:00Exactly Tessa

The hardest comment...What a wonderful perspective. The hardest comments for me to deal with have always been the ones where they give advice. The absolute worst was when our neighbor made Alex look her in the eye before she would give him Halloween candy during trick or treat. Meanwhile he was busy keeping an eye on her giant German Shepherd. Seemed like a typical reaction to me. I wanted to throttle her or say "Do you make all the kids look you in the eye first or just the autistic ones?" I admit I have never really gotten over that one but I will try to keep it in perspective!!

We can all be angry about the comments, or we can try to educate.
