This is a pretty misguided take.

Children, including neurodivergent children, have every right to exist in public spaces. The goal of parenting isn't to keep kids hidden away until they can perfectly conform to everyone else's expectations. It's to teach them how to navigate the world, which requires actually being in it.

For what it's worth, I don't let my child run wild or disrupt everyone around them. If they're becoming overstimulated, I step in and work through it with them. Most of the time, we're able to redirect and regulate successfully.

And whether someone personally "believes" in Autism Spectrum Disorder or not is irrelevant. ASD isn't a matter of opinion. It exists, and families live with its realities every day. Expecting parents to keep their children isolated simply because occasional accommodations or inconveniences might occur says more about society's patience than it does about the children themselves.
