What do you think about this interaction? I think it’s incredibly weird to react so poorly to a child not saying hello. Some kids can’t respond like others and honestly, even neurotypical children shouldn’t be expected to interact with strangers. We teach them stranger danger but then force them to perform for people they’ve never met. To me that makes no sense. I will never explain my child to another adult. I will never other him. Period. People need to start learning more about the world around them! Autistic people live their entire lives learning how to fit into a world that doesn’t accept them. The least neurotypical people can do is give grace to the kids who are struggling.
