I was asked if s/t was "wrong" with DS

Lily82 · September 2009

I ran into my best friends Aunt at Target and after 5 minutes of talking to us she asked if s/t was "wrong" with Ds. I asked what she meant and she said the he hasn't made eye contact with her. I tole her no but she said I should get him checked for Down Syndrom. WHAT? I told her he has been going to the doctor and he is fine but thanks for the concerns. Are you kidding me?

Some people have no tact. Seriously. I'm sorry that she said that to you!!

excitedforlittleone · September 2009

Holy eff! I would have told her it's probably because of her ugly face! I would have probably cussed her out or said something really nasty lol.

I think she meant Autism or Aspergers...dummy.

ETA so panties untwist...I would not call someone a dummy on the board. ESP the person who posted this. The dummy was directed at the dumb comment which included the wrong sysmptom for the wrong diagnosis. FWIW...I would have said, YOU are an idiot. Left Hug Beer Right Hug

jamie4duke · September 2009

Ok, I'm no doctor, but I don't think lack of eye contact is a sign of Down's. I think she was thinking autism, but considering the fact that she has no tact, I think the woman must be a complete moron. Maybe your LO was just looking around the store. I know Kelsey looks around all amazed when we go to places she doesn't see everyday.

WHAAAAAAAAAT? ?People are absolute idiots. ?Even if there was something wrong with him, does she think that your doctors wouldn't have noticed by now? ?What a moron.

I'm seriously angry for you!?

Are you kidding me?!?! Wow.

Lily82 · September 2009

I wanted to flip out on her arse but was so stunned that I didn't. Once she left I wanted to throw a grapefruit at her head

WTH? That is so messed up...some people are just plain rude.

Fish4Fun · September 2009

You should tell her that another sign of Asperger's is a lack of social grace, and that she should get herself checked.

Chloe77 · September 2009

I think I would seriously have to call her and tell her what a jackass she iss.

Oh well, that makes it better then. ::eye roll x a kabillion::

"Dummies"

betsnup · September 2009

I'd be pissed. First, because she's a tactless idiot who confuses Austism and Downs, and second...well, because she's a tactless idiot. When D is in stores, he is a complete swivel head. I doubt he makes eye contact with many people - he's too busy looking at anything and everything.

That's awful! I'm so sorry.

The dummy was the asshat woman who made the comment, not the poster. Way to be obnoxious...we can count on you!

Nice JAR...But if you thinking that telling her that maybe the woman meant another disorder makes the OP feel better, then I think you are an obnoxious asshat, and still a dummy.

My comment was directed only to you and hewinked, never the OP...can't twist this one.

I never said your comment was directed at the OP WTH are you talking about?

And yes the woman was a dummy for speaking up in the first place and using the WRONG symptom for the wrong disorder. I was trying to let the OP know that clearly the Aunt did not know what she was talking about and missed the mark by a mile.

I am not trying to twist anything, clearly you are confused. If you need a tutorial I am happy to help. You know, from one obnoxious asshat to another.

What you wrote does not even manke sense.

Stop trying so hard. You fail. Stop wasting my time.

preg_amy · September 2009

I would have punched her in the face.

*KatieH* · September 2009

Jar - that way you wrote it looked like it as intended for the original poster, imo too.

WRONG symptom??? How do you know the OP's LO even has a symptom!?!

Based on the OP post, it seems that there is nothing wrong with her LO, so why even bring up what the Aunt MAY have meant? Clearly the Aunt has no couth.

It was a stupid thing for the Aunt to say and needed no justification/ clarification.

OMG WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU? I was not linking a symptom to her son. I was linking symptom to diagnosis.

What the hell are you trying to do? I still diagnose you as obnoxious...not beating around the bush. You are proving yourself. What do you want to get out of this? To hear that you are right? That you are smaht? That people like you? What do you want? Chill the fvckout.

I was not calling her a name, I was not calling her son anything.

Thanks for telling me what I need and need not post...glad that is clear.
