Usually you get angry stares from people who look like they are thinking "just control your kids". <br />My middle child is the one of our 3 who does not have autism. She gets very upset when people stare at her older brother and younger sister. Sometimes she will simply ask, "Why are you staring? Do you have any questions? Max and Avery have autism, which means part of their brain is broken".<br />She is always first to notice the “looks”, and will immediately jump to her sibling’s defense. One time I asked her if it embarrassed her, she said, “It used to, but now I just want to talk for them, because they can’t talk for themselves”. It’s pretty cool to see the looks in some of these “adults” faces when they are shamed by an 8 year old girl. <br />Great blog – thanks for sharing.Mike Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313557775426998238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002873379688473739.post-29267547771553519022011-06-16T11:51:20.649-05:002011-06-16T11:51:20.649-05:00WoW!WoW!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072503177390474299noreply@blogger.com
