[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 640079, member: 17269"] Lucy, I was a little surprised that I wasn't at all embarrassed at Dunkin Donuts...the people behind the counter were clearly very uncomfortable having him there, and their brains were exploding that the professional looking woman in the suit was calmly chatting with the wild haired dirty smelly guy who reached for his coffee with filthy hands. I actually...just didn't care. Sometimes I do. Like you. At the race...I'll buzz by so fast it doesn't really matter. When he was little he used to wait for me at races and give me a little bag of doritos. I'll give him the chance to do that again...and I think I'll be OK if he isn't there. My sister's son is 7 feet tall, probably about 400 pounds, and severely autisitic...he shuffles, touches things, moans, blurts nonsense quotes from movies, and generally draws a LOT of attention. He is, in the most literal interpretion of the term, monstrous. He also likes to go to Walmart and Barnes and Nobles for entertainment. I do NOT know how she survives the looks and stares she gets from other people. So sometimes I try to channel her when I feel embarassed about difficult child. Sometimes I get mad at him for being as he is and making everyone, including me, uncomfortable. And sometimes...it just doesn't seem like a thing. Thanks for being out there, Lucy. Its good to have company. Echo [/QUOTE]
