Hi all just would like a bit of input from you all.
I was in a supermarket today and saw a little boy walking with his mum who had a lanyard round his neck saying he was autistic. To me he looked like a normal little boy.
Is this a normal thing to do nowadays label children.
I really can not get my head around it.
I don't think i would like my autistic grandchild to walk around with a label on, is it just me.

Lots of Gnetters have children/grandchildren on the spectrum. I was surprised to find out there were so many. Interestingly our beloved DGC seem to be so loved by us. Wish others could treat them kindly
