I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m struggling to take my autistic child out alone anymore. She stims a lot which involves running up and down and shouting things out. This was fine when she was little people didn’t really say anything as probably just thought it was typical age related but now she’s older it’s causing a lot of problems with people being rude to us. I’ve tried to stop her but she will either shout louder or try to run away from me if I attempt to stop it. Today was awful. We were at the bus stop on our way home and she was stimming as usual. I heard two people talking. They were making comments about my daughter racist comments. (My daughter is mixed race) and one of them said id hate to live with THAT! I defended my daughter and took some pictures of them and then took her away and left the bus stop but im really upset that this happened. The whole bus stop was staring at us like we were the problem probably because they see my daughter as just a naughty child. My daughter didn’t want to leave the bus stop so I’m sure they were judging that as well but the way everyone was just staring at us was awful. I no longer feel safe or confident taking her out alone (this isn’t the first time we’ve experienced abuse this is just the first time there was a racial element) any advice on how I can stop her running up and down and shouting things out? This is only going to continue to attract negativity, I took her to another bus stop and tried to keep her away from people but it’s difficult as she will not listen to me and doesn’t understand. I have a GP appointment today so I’m going to mention it there. But any advice in the meantime as I really don’t feel confident taking her out anymore
