This post is so tone deaf. Also love the ableists in the post saying sensory issues are not a thing and we autistic people are privileged assholes. One of the perks of autism is that if you hear a sudden, loud sounds you go into shutdown. I enter a mighty state of anxiety that almost paralizes me. I've been called an asshole just for getting away from a screaming kid, because that's "a way of shaming the parents". Like, seriously? You can't compare the snobbish people who can't tolerate a child talking a bit too loud, to people who actively fear any shrill sound and take measures to protect themselves. Alarms, construction sounds, they all have the same effect. How do I live with this? Badly. That's why having autism isn't exactly a walk in the park. "But the post isn't saying...!" I don't care, enough people in the notes are saying it. There is a vocal minority of nutters who hate kids for real, but the vast majority has just had way too many experiences with actual rude kids and, most importantly, the crux of the problem, parents who did nothing. Because a parent that really cares will correct the kid and apologize, they won't just say "eh it's a kid, who cares if he kicked you/threw your food on the ground/took all the things from your cart and threw them on the floor" and not even repair what his kid broke. "But the post isn't talking about these things!" But the examples I made were also kids who have "a limited experience of the world". Also, apparently, a limited experience with education. I just wanna say that maybe, putting boundaries with kids doesn't mean you hate them! Saying no to a kid who wants to touch your hair? Legitimate boundaries. This way the child will experience that a person can tell them no. I don't see a problem with this. Or telling off a kid who did something worse.

edit: @ all the people saying I can't disagree or to make my own post

As I said, I don't even hate kids! So this post is not even about me lol. I was addressing the "kids can't control themselves they're still learning part", mostly. And all the people saying they don't intervene to correct their children when they do something bad because kids will be kids. BUT: this comment explains it perfectly. If you make a post where you basically say kids should be tolerated no matter what, and the notes are full of people saying shit like "if you're annoyed by a kid kys" or "saying kids need children spaces is racist and segregationist" without an ounce of irony, yeah, evidently the original meaning of the post was lost on a lot of people. I love how no one is addressing these comments but going hard on anyone who dares disagree.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
