I have found that people tend to surprise me (you'd think by now I'd let my guard down a little, I certainly should!) with their kindness and understanding more than the opposite. We just got new next-door neighbors (we live in a triplex) and my boys and I went to say "hello" on the weekend the neighbor, a young (20-something) mother and her 15 month-old daughter moved in. The woman's father was helping her. Pete immediately launched into his million question mode -- which is delightful when you know him but could very much sound rude if you don't (he tends to ask people their age and if they are married and some people don't like this much). I said to the father, to whom Pete was directing most of his questions, "I hope you'll excuse my son's curiosity if it sounds rude, he's autistic and these things are really important to him," and the gentleman said, "that's okay, these seem like really good questions to me." Made my day. :-) Oh I love that.
