I have seen this more than once at school: the parents of a child with autism say that the neighbors just look away, as if it is contagious. And in fact, no one is insured, as you correctly wrote. Thank you for your honest words.

Yes, I also saw this in our block, with a boy downstairs who has autism. The neighbors look away when he goes out with his mother, as if it's something contagious. The article is right, no one is safe from something like this, no matter how "normal" we think. Thank you, Elena.

Yes, it often happens at school. My neighbor also once turned away when she saw a boy with special needs, and then her grandson was born with a similar problem. Life quickly puts everything in place. In which school did you observe this?

Михайло Бойко

Yes, Khrystyna, they definitely noticed. In our Poltava school No. 12, parents also sometimes pretended not to see anything, and then they discovered similar difficulties in the daughter of a friend. Life really doesn't bypass anyone. Have you been dealing with this topic for a long time?

I used to see something similar at my old job when I was taking kids on the bus. Parents turned heads like it was contagious. Elena is right, no one is sure. Life knows how to show you quickly.
