I took my son for a slice of pizza after his gym class. He was standing in the chair and eating, as is usually the case. (He's just shy of three)An older lady walks by, rubs his hair, grabs him under the chin and tells him to sit down or he'd crack his chin, and pushes the chair in closer to the table.I'm sitting right there. I has no issues with how he was behaving as it was better than normal.I did nothing.This happens often. (Strangers touching him.) And while I'm uncomfortable, I'm always afraid I'll over react so I do nothing.Can someone tell me if I'm right, wrong, any strategies to cope with this? For what it's worth I'm a six foot bearded aspergers guy with a very crappy history - so I'm not assertive unless it's coupled with rage. I also realize my idea of unwanted contact is different than others.I'm truly at a loss here. Any perspectives?edit* Thanks everyone. I appreciate the time you took. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2s0DF7F
