Dad Goes Viral For Angry Rant About People Who Judge Parents of Autistic Children

As if having an autistic child is not hard enough, the sad reality that parents have to face every single day is that there will always be people who will try to judge them. It’s a sad, disturbing behavior that definitely needs to go away and fortunately, one man took a stand and openly expressed his disgust about it.

British dad Adam Poole shared a photo on social media, showing a mother cradling her child in public. He also wrote a few words, slamming harsh people who are clearly out of the line. Eventually, the short yet inspiring post went viral, gaining thousands of likes and shares from netizens everywhere.

Adam Poole has “some advice” for those who criticize parents of autistic children.

He wrote on Facebook:

“Just some advice for those with no experience of autism.

“When you see a child having what appears to be a meltdown in public, just walk past and keep your mouth shut.

“Don’t shake your head, don’t stare, just get on with your day. Your sh*tty look on your sh*tty face doesn’t help anyone.”

To end his post, Poole also wrote “Best mum I know.”

The short post quickly went viral, attracting a lot of comments from people who related and agreed with Poole’s point.

One mother commented:

“Thank God someone said it … The amount of times people have stared or even muttered that I should give my son a smack is ridiculous! There needs to be more awareness but unless everyone had first hand experience they don’t understand and won’t teach their children to understand.”

Another added:

“Ladies. I see this sh*t all the time. Rather than shake your head and comment something negative, how about you walk up to the woman and ask her if she’s ok and needs any help? Why not offer support instead of negativity? Women should empower each other.”
