Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I would just like to say that in a group like this, we should remember that any parent (and particularly any father) of a child with an ASD, is very likely to have AS themselves, whether they realise it or not. Hence they can be extremely blunt and appear rude. Please treat the adults of the group in the same way that you would like your children to be treated - with tolerance and understanding. in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
