I have a son with ADHD, I try hard to keep him quiet and he is respectful of others and his manners are impeccable-strangers have said so! But if I had not developed a thick skin, we would never go anywhere or do anything. Its difficult to balance things when your son has the attention span of a goldfish. Doesn't make him any less cute, but I try my hardest to keep him under controll and at the same time allow him to have the same experiences in life as other children. Its just hard to keep the balance sometimes when we are out and my nerves are frayed.
I can see both sides of the argument. Parents should be responsible and the general public should be tollerant. I manage it 99% of the time so don't see why others can't. My daughter on the other hand, I think was born middle aged and is often more sensible than I.:p
