Kylie Kelce

So people who want to always take out their phone and record a situation, you're an asshole.

Really simple.

JWoww said it last summer when we talked.

It just doesn't make any sense that someone's having a really hard time and your first thought is to take a phone out.

So I think that it's okay to ask the parent in that moment if there's anything that you could do or if you need help.

What I will say is I would keep it to one question and then I would walk away if the answer is no or if they don't answer you.

If they say yes...

do exactly what they ask.

What I will say is you should plan to have no engagement with that child that's having a meltdown or a moment of difficulty.

That it might be a situation where it's like, can you hold this child if they have another child with them?

Or can you, like, move my cart over?

But the child that is having a tough time is probably not going to want to be touched by a stranger, is probably not going to want to be acknowledged by a stranger.

And quite honestly, sometimes when individuals who are on the autism spectrum get deep into a meltdown, they're not even going to notice you're there.

So that is not helpful.

I would be really receptive to know what parents would say

if they have a neurodivergent child and have experienced moments in public

what they would feel is helpful.

So if you're a parent of a neurodivergent child and you have a recommendation of how you would feel helped in a situation in public where your child may be having a tough time or a meltdown, please tag us at NGL with Kylie because I would love to know so that maybe we can share a couple of suggestions.
