Yesterday we were at the swimming pool and I noticed my DD (Just) 6 was staring at a boy of maybe 11 or 12. He was non neuro typical, had involuntary hand movements and was chatting away to himself. We were in the queue for the slides and she was just interested, but staring. I felt we were too close to him for me to say anything, but also didn't want her just to stare. She's done it before with other physical and unusual looks, but I'm not sure what the best way to handle this is.
Parents / teachers/ adults with non typical physical attributes, what do you prefer? How do you prefer parents to talk to their children about differences in a positive, encouraging and helpful way?
