smallworld Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I think with a physionomically (is that the right word ?) 'normal' asd child you get an entirely different stare, or more accurately stares ! people don't seem to be embarassed to be caught staring in the same way that they are with a more obvious disability ? I use my 'Paddington hard stare' in reply, which is sort of quizzical without been threatening (imagine Paddington bear thinking 'mmm, does that person staring at me know I have a marmalade sandwich under my hat, why else would they be staring at me ?' ) On a bad day, I'm more Travis Bickle 'YOU LOOKING AT ME' (AND MY CHILD) ? !! No wonder I get sent to the door to drive away the double glazing salesmen wac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraMum Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I think I usually have the raised eyebrow " you want to make something of this?" stare in return - actually we get less stares and more 'tut tut's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
