So instead of just talking to them like human beings, they went straight to treating them like an autistic child. Sounds exactly like a shit manager.

FYI autistic children are human beings and you probably don't want to imply that they aren't.

Lol damn dude maybe you should be nicer to kids.

You mean in a kind voice and with a direct, clear message?

Out of curiosity, how do parenting courses suggest communicating with your son?

Interpretive dance.

I didn't write this.

A lot of parenting and workplace communication courses mostly teach people how to listen. The next most important thing is to clearly repeat back what you heard or understood them say, that way if you misheard or misunderstood they can correct you. After that it's a lot of manipulation techniques, and that's where they lose me. It feels really dirty to talk about other people as problems to your life and how to navigate them with pandering.
