[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 57058, member: 3211"] Marg, I love the restaurant success story. [img]:wink:[/img] Made me smile. We have the same frustrations in restaurants. difficult child has learned how to order, too, for the most part. He doesn't like anything on any of his food either. Plain potatoes. Plain chicken. Spaghetti with NO sign of meat, thank you. He does not eat ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, etc. None of it. It's funny too, but we also congratulate difficult child when he has avoided a flip comment - and tells us about it. Lisa, You are right - I know several adults who are the same way - if the thought is in their heads, it's coming out of their mouths. I guess by posting and reading all of the replies, I see this is a common problem - and it has helped me to better see the 'big picture'. difficult child has really improved in this area over the years - I just guess I didn't realize it. I tend to get frustrated because it's a fairly constant problem - and can be quite embarassing for us as well as for difficult child, but since it doesn't seem to bother him I'm not sure we'll ever get him to completely see it as a real issue. Guess all we can do is continue to work on the skills in situations such as restaurants, etc. Thanks again, all! [img]:angel:[/img] [/QUOTE]
