We’ve all been there – out in public (or even in private), and someone who's never parented an autistic kid gives us unwanted, ignorant advice because our kid is not behaving the way this person thinks they should.

​

I would like to think when someone makes a snide comment about my parenting that I could kindly yet assertively educate them on the realities of neurodiversity. I'm not that person though, so I needed a better solution.

 

Handing them a card is much better than going ballistic – or doing a slow burn.
