[QUOTE="whateveryousay2007, post: 92859, member: 4265"] Thanks for the info. I've been fortunate enough that he had a teacher this year with a sharp eye. she saw problems that I thought was mere ADD and stayed in the loop to get him help. Better to find out sooner than later. I think a lot of people are reluctant to see what's in front of them. I just didn't know that it was anything more than him being him. but, hopefully everything will work out and it'll be okay. I changed the way I correct him by watching someone interact with their autistic child at Target. I've come to realize that there are things he can and things he can't control. Trying to punish him for things he can't control just ticks him off and doesn't get us anywhere. It's been hard. people look at you like you're crazy and I don't feel like I should explain what is going on when you're out in public. I have a whole new outlook on children when they're misbehaving, as one old lady told me in a store that children need their behinds spanked more (when mine was acting up). I told her I agree but instead of getting upset with her I told her that sometimes things aren't always as they appear. She seemed shocked. But it's a process and I'm just trying to get by. Usually we try to leave the stimulation that's causing the "overload" but you can't do that when you're paying for groceries. [/QUOTE]
