[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 112957, member: 4362"] Well, it's better than being shut out completely, which is what happened to me (see my post under "Also new to site -- need help with relatives"). I have been told that my son and I are no longer welcome at family gatherings because of his unpredictable and sometimes violent behavior. One of my sisters and her husband are my son's godparents, too. What a great example for him! But I have to admit that I have also isolated us because of his unpredictable behavior. Going to places like amusement parks are stressful, because I know my difficult child gets overstimulated and irritable, even though he's having fun! I let him bring a friend (just one) so that he has someone to hang out with, but it's hard to ignore the throngs of people all around. I just hope that I can create a new "family" for us, so that he won't miss out on the social interaction and love that families can (and should) provide. by the way, JJJ -- teachers rule! [/QUOTE]
