In the real world, it means adults worthy of respect.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-20395835949028712752012-04-04T11:54:30.281-04:002012-04-04T11:54:30.281-04:00I couldn't agree more!

As you aptly explained, this harmful message is even more destructive for kids on the autism spectrum, who tend to rely on "rules" to navigate their social world.Stephaniehttp://momto3feistykids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-53401536757522157712012-04-01T14:18:19.969-04:002012-04-01T14:18:19.969-04:00My asd child still cannot handle the smell of MANY...My asd child still cannot handle the smell of MANY foods, so requiring her to sit through a meal which 'revolts' her would be cruel.

Sometimes, the direct approach makes it worse unless if you know the family and are in a relationship with them. It is hard knowing what is right to do with our kids because there are so many conflicting messages. I will just have to trust that God is sovereign and will reach into their hearts on this issue, just as He has with other friends.<br /><br />Elf Mum, thanks. We can never know the whole story and it was never shared whether the family assesses the whole child and the whole situations to discern if the children are capable of doing what they are being asked. We all make mistakes and I'm glad my children don't hold mine against me.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-1869640675893139322012-04-01T10:28:23.164-04:002012-04-01T10:28:23.164-04:00I appreciated that your post was written lovingly ...I appreciated that your post was written lovingly and without the horrid and condescending tone I too often see when a parent doesn't agree with what another parent does on the blogs.<br /><br />I don't know the people/post in question and I imagine we don't know the whole story. Still, as a general rule, I think you're right on target. God's mercy and grace as well as His being a God of order and such, are qualities we want to reflect in our own lives.<br /><br />I know Pamela is growing into being a beautiful artist in her own right. I know classes have beginning and end times but it's so hard when you're on a roll to quit! :)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35650510.post-85381517486197772462012-04-01T08:04:39.177-04:002012-04-01T08:04:39.177-04:00all this is well and good, but did the family who ...all this is well and good, but did the family who needs this intervention, receive this message?<br />I would hope that they were able to read this without being on the defensive else all is futile.
