[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 287604, member: 1550"] Hi, all. Thanks for the feedback. L. never has meltdowns. Ever. So I knew he'd hold together. Secondly, unfortunately going into the house wasn't an option. He will usually come alive if he can go inside and play videogames...lol. That loosens him up, but the host wanted everyone to stay outside. L. did have his PS with him (the little one) so he had permission to play that after a while to take his mind off the noise and the strangers. He is like this even with our family though if everyone is there. He also gets bored easily. All in all, right from the start I was hoping he could stay, but ready to drive him home after a while if he seemed uncomfortable. As I was watching him (he was on my mind until he left), I was laughing inside in a way. This chld had been diagnosed with ADHD/ODD (the ODD part is a riot) and bipolar disorder! And here was he was with NO DOUBT that he was on the spectrum. Honestly, these doctors were so "off" with him. He is just so obviously a spectrum kid! Well, at least we FINALLY got THAT right so he can continue to get the right kind of help. Thanks for "listening." :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
