Does anyone find it annoying when parents make a big deal out of harmless autistic traits and want to fix it?
Like if a child is lining up their toys or anything else, the parents freak out about it. If a child hand flaps or wrings their wrists, parents freak out about it. If a child rocks, the parents freak out about it. If a child has no desire for friends, the parents freak out about it. A child spending their time with their obsessions, the parents freak out about it. A child not wanting to be hugged or held or want affection, the parents freak out about it. One of my pet peeves about people in the world. I want to scream at them about it. Who cares if it's "not normal." Normal is over rated. As my mom says, "What's normal?" Who cares if it's part of autism or the spectrum. It's part of them. Normal is over rated.
