My DD (just turned 10) has ASD. She is young for her age and still enjoys playing with soft toys and dolls. She will often take her favourite toy for a walk round the block in her baby sling. She got money for her birthday and has saved up to buy a real baby buggy. Toy buggies are no good as she is 5 foot tall and she wanted a 'proper' one. The problem is my mother says I am setting her up to be ridiculed by letting her take this buggy out in public with her toys in. My daughter seems to be aware that other children her age don't do this but doesn't care. Should I be stopping this behaviour or doing what I am currently doing which is not giving a shit what people say? Thanks for reading!
