Your children are under no obligation to be an extension or representation of you. If you are embarrassed when your Autistic child does something in public that is not considered appropriate, you need to check yourself.
A true advocate is accepting and dignified. Your reactions and responses are being watched by the public and noted. If you explain that your child is Autistic don't you dare apologize!
Do not let a stranger say something your child can hear and not respond.
Be brave, be loving, be a voice your child can be proud of.
I should say now I will jump off my soapbox but I won't.
Ever
