[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 109834, member: 3072"] Its still hard to take my difficult child out in public sometimes because no one knows what will set her off. She threw a fit because we wanted her to order her own food at McDonalds. I assumed that she would want to because the other kids do it and she gets mad if I don't let her do what the others do. When she was little, she tantrumed every time we went out over anything. She was running down the sidewalk one time and ran into a pole. Instead of running back to me for comfort, she threw a fit and raged about "THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT THAT THERE!!!" As far as the speech, it may be better for Sammy right now if its noticeable that he's having issues. My difficult child was slow to start talking but once she started, she really learned fast and had/has a love for big words. Unfortunately, it foold people/professionals into thinking she's a lot smarter than what she is. So, its been hard to get services because people will try to completely ignore the neuropsychologist exams because they think that if she can be as articulate as she is, she has to be as smart as she sounds. I know its frustrating to try to explain and want others to "get it" but not everyone will. Just stick to your guns and keep advocating like you have been. Hopefully Sammy will hit a developmental spurt that will blow you all away. Good luck [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
