Hello, thank you for your question.
As a parent of a child with autism, responding to rejection due to your child's behavior can be challenging, but here are some brief tips:
Stay calm and educate: Politely explain that your child's behavior is a result of autism and not intentional. People may not understand, so offering a simple explanation can help.
Set boundaries: If someone is being judgmental or unkind, it's okay to calmly set boundaries and walk away. Protect your emotional well-being.
Find support: Connect with others who understand autism, such as support groups or other parents, to build a network of empathy and understanding.
Focus on your child: Remember, your child's progress is what matters most. Continue to support them with love and understanding, regardless of others' reactions.
Be patient with others: Not everyone understands autism, and some may need time to learn. Offer resources or invite them to learn more when appropriate.
Most importantly, remember you are not alone, and seeking help from professionals can also guide your responses.
