I’m not sure if this is a big deal, but I just wanted to know how other SN parents would deal with it. My daughter has ASD and developmental delay, she is fairly sociable though and likes being around family. There have been a few times where two different mums from our family circle have deliberately gone out of their way to make their child do something that they know my daughter would find really difficult or may never be able to do, I know they have done it to highlight her needs and make me upset as they then seem to look on for a reaction. I have ignored ot so far but was wondering if next time I should speak up.

I think it would be helpful if you could provide an example and details like ages etc

That sounds mean if you are sure they are doing it deliberately. I would focus on positive things your daughter can do. You could ignore them as they no doubt would state they are just proud of their children.

So in terms of details, my daughter is 6.5 and one of them has a daughter who is 3, the other has a son who is 7. It is pretty obvious- they will go out of their way to make sure their child will hug/greet everyone and make a huge deal of it. I know they don’t do it normally as my mum has noticed it is when I am there with my daughter.
