I know that there are times when people look at us as if we are horrible parents because our child is frustrated or upset and acting out, and somehow in there eyes, we look like we’re not doing anything about it. And while the stares and glares can suck, they can't hurt us.

Just remember that not all people are ignorant and rude just because they are staring. It is our human nature to look at things we don’t understand to try to understand it.

I try to look at the stares as an opportunity for people to become more autism aware.
