take into account that he has to do the things he does either thanks for getting it sistahwife march 8 2014 1 14 am reply cancel dana my kids think the term autism spectrum is kind of strange but this post proves why it exists autism isn t just one thing with one definition to assume a child is a certain way because they have autism or any special need is to define him by a diagnosis when you reach out to readers you are debunking those assumptions and creating more empathy and understanding thank you for that kristi and thank you for sharing the thoughts of your pac tribe march 7 2014 9 43 am reply cancel kristi campbell i think the term autism spectrum is strange too but i m so much more comfortable with it than just saying autism for whatever reason i m sure that s about me and not about tucker but maybe you just nailed why to assume anything about a kid because you know another kid well yeah march 8 2014 1 17 am reply cancel sandy ramsey i learn so much when i read your posts i admit sometimes when i see a child in public and it looks like they are pitching a fit and the mom does nothing i shake my head a little and judge i won t do that anymore sure maybe some of them are outright tantrums but i will no longer just assume that because of you and the voice that you have for all of these brave moms and their incredible children every single point on that list needs to be heard i think the one that struck me the most is that all kids bring uniqueness all of them march 7 2014 10 01 am reply cancel kristi campbell all kids do bring uniqueness sandy and i m so with you on judging other people s kids and other people s parenting methods the thing is though we don t know we don t know what else is going on sometimes maybe you should shake your head a little bit god knows i do but sometimes like when tucker refuses to wear a jacket it s not bad parenting it s respecting our kids thanks much for this march 8 2014 1 25 am reply cancel sarah est 1975 my 6yo son who is not on the spectrum is nonetheless a massive hand flapper like massive and has been ever since he was 3 months old he sometimes gets weird looks and behind the hand comments when we are out and about i just want to say to people if you have questions why is he doing that just ask it s okay i wonder if you feel the same as an epileptic myself i came to the conclusion long ago that i felt better when people with questions or who were tempted to pass judgment based on very little information just asked me so that they could get edja ma cated and more informed sadly people often don t choose that route what are your feelings about it march 7 2014 10 22 am reply cancel kristi campbell i so completely feel the same sarah i am more than happy to answer any questions about tucker his delays autism and also more than happy to say i don t know but to start a dialogue about it kids are kids and i just want people with typical ones to accept my son the way that they assume i ll accept theirs i d definitely welcome a dialogue and i thank you for asking because that says a lot march 8 2014 1 30 am reply cancel katia oh wow what an incredibly important empathy checklist number 8 10 broke my heart a little bit i don t know why any parent wouldn t extrapolate their own sense of love and acceptance of their child onto other kids it breaks my heart that special needs moms would have to ask for that acceptance not fair thank you for this list which really brings things home for me such an important observation on not assuming that all spectrum kids should be similar in a way why should they when non spectrum kids aren t i loved 6 as well we cannot dismiss their creativity just because it may manifest itself in a different way march 7 2014 10 34 am reply cancel kristi campbell katia it breaks my heart that we have to ask for that acceptance too but it s a reality it s like parents bond with parents of non special needs kids because they feel like oh isn t this cute and it is cute but what our kids are doing much behind schedule maybe is also adorable and worthy of embrace thanks so much for getting that part it means so much to me that you do march 8 2014 1 33 am reply cancel karen great post once again and so true i think there needs to be a lot less judging from people every child and family is different if we all accepted and understood that life would be awesome march 7 2014 10 39 am reply cancel kristi campbell yes every child is awesome and it s the grown ups who just need to realize it thanks karen march 8 2014 1 34 am reply cancel kerri oh i love this they live out loud perfect my friend simply perfect i think 10 is my favorite we have to accept that their kids are perfect right march 7 2014 11 14 am reply cancel kristi campbell no doubt we are so expected to accept our friends kids why should we have to hope that they accept ours march 8 2014 1 35 am reply cancel kelly l mckenzie please accept our kids the way that you assume we will accept yours that s it right there thank you i shall march 7 2014 11 24 am reply cancel kristi campbell aw thanks kelly you rock march 8 2014 11 58 am reply cancel nothingbythebook love simply love march 7 2014 11 26 am reply cancel kristi campbell xo nbtb xo march 8 2014 11 59 am reply cancel michele kristi this list makes so much sense and has given me a lot to think about thank you for posting march 7 2014 11 31 am reply cancel kristi campbell thanks for reading and commenting michele i think it s important for people to know that it s okay to ask questions and feel awkward but that our kids are just kids march 8 2014 12 04 pm reply cancel jean thank you for putting this out there for my part someone who tries so hard to respond in a positive way when i hear someone talking about a child who didn t seem to be behaving properly or wearing at hat when it was below freezing and what are his parents thinking i ll speak up march 7 2014 12 30 pm reply cancel kristi campbell you rock jean it s such a small thing to remind people that not all kids will wear hats and it makes such a big difference to further understanding and to stop assumptions that bad parenting is involved thanks so much march 8 2014 12 05 pm reply cancel kenya g johnson great list kristi i continue to learn here as a bystander i don t gawk but i m also probably very obvious in pretending not to see or hear march 7 2014 12 48 pm reply cancel kristi campbell yeah i hear you on being obvious in pretending to not see or hear as i think i m obvious about it too i usually just try to make sure to give the mom a smile if she seems stressed out just so she knows i m not annoyed if that makes sense it s hard to know what to do sometimes though like when a child is obviously physically deformed or something i always feel like does the mom want to chat does she want me to be busy and not notice i don t know i guess we ll all figure out what to do together march 8 2014 12 07 pm reply cancel jamie southmainmuse i hope some day at a blogging conference or something you meet leisahammett her daughter grace is a phenomenal artist and leisa is a huge autism and art advocate love her http www leisahammett com march 7 2014 1 11 pm reply cancel kristi campbell thanks jamie i haven t heard of leisa before i ll have to check her out i appreciate you letting me know about her march 8 2014 12 10 pm reply cancel chris at hye thyme cafe this seems like an odd thing to say but it amazes me how often that people on the lighter side of whatever their issue may be have a tougher time of it in terms of services etc i grew up with someone developmentally disabled who isn t bad enough to fit in with others similarly diagnosed but not good enough to fit in with her normal peers i know how alone and frustrated she feels trying to fit in and what a difficult time she has gone through trying to obtain services others with physical disabilities aren t bad enough to participate in such and such but still can t play join those without physical disabilities they also seem to be judged more harshly because people don t necessarily see what s going on i know someone else who is frequently assumed to be drunk we joke about it but i know how annoying it can be because she can t do anything about it and we don t see her that way it s all very strange frustrating wish there was a magic answer march 7 2014 1 15 pm reply cancel kristi campbell chris what an insightful comment and wow to your friend who people assume is drunk that must be rough i know what you mean about people on the lighter side of an issue seeming to not fit in anywhere and i think it s a problem in a lot of ways school placement being top of mind we have not yet had a chance to look at the kindergarten options for next year yet nor met to discuss them but i m already nervous about it while of course i d like tucker to be around typical developing kids his age in a classroom i also never want him to feel dumb less than or different in a bad way either thanks so much for your insight march 8 2014 12 12 pm reply cancel brianne hi kristi your pac mom friend joanna sent out a link to your blog on the poac nova mailing list last week and i m so glad she did i m a pac mom too and didn t realize there was a blog out there that hits so close to home in more ways than one just wanted to say hello and thanks for putting yourself out there i would add to your list kids with autism and special needs smile and can be happy my daughter can be very bubbly which often confuses people if they find out she has asd as if the two can t exist in one person they also usually have yet to witness her not so bubbly side march 7 2014 1 51 pm reply cancel kristi campbell brianne thanks so much for visiting and for the great addition to the list you re so right that they can be happy people have so many misconceptions i m still learning too when tucker first started pac i was convinced he just had a language delay sigh i m so glad that joanna sent finding ninee out to the poac list and that you found us here thanks again march 8 2014 12 15 pm reply cancel joanna i love it i read this post at least 10x it s awesome powerful and true

campbell thanks marcia i agree that he s beautiful and am sure i m not biased at all march 8 2014 12 26 pm reply cancel don our friends daughter never really looked autistic unless you really paid attention i think so i was always on the defensive probably even more than her parents when we were in public and she started on one of her tangents or whatever special needs parents have to deal with the same things as parents of regular kids is that the term to use lol plus the extra crap and sometimes it s not fair these sorts of lists and posts about how you want others to treat your kids are important a lot of people just don t know even though many of us want to know if that makes sense as always tucker is beautiful march 7 2014 10 22 pm reply cancel kristi campbell you rock for looking out for her don that s awesome as are you and yeah we have to deal with the same stuff as all parents and some other worries as well obviously i love that you want to know too and happy happy birthday

hated when people tried to tell me i was imagining things or over reacting all i wanted was for someone to notice the obvious and tell me so i also love how it s always the mother s fault if you had been a working mom and put your son in day care that would have been the reason march 8 2014 12 35 am reply cancel kat i am very grateful every day that neither of my kids are special needs kids and have tremendous respect for parents who live with this i can t imagine what it is like to be in your shoes i have learned over the years not to judge parents i see in public with children who are acting out because if i don t know them then i can t possibly know their situation if i know that a child has autism i always take my cues for interacting with them from their parents after all they know their child best thank you for posting this for those of us who are not in your shoes march 8 2014 9 42 am reply cancel kristi campbell kat thanks so much for the great comment i love that you don t judge parents when you see that their kids are acting out in public you re so right that we don t know the situation the kid might have sensory processing issues and what are the parents to do
