[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 399201, member: 1991"] I would let him write his own letter as you have described it, and perhaps hand-deliver it so you can explain - he will not apologise for something he does not believe he did. Perceptions can vary, and this is a "he said, she said" situation which, frankly, they need to let go. He is prepared to apologise for the rudeness his actions were seen as in others. He will not apologise for rubbing the paper in someone's face if, as far as he can recall, he just held the paper up. If the paper touched the Occupational Therapist (OT), what of it? It sounds like people were too much in his space anyway, and they should accept that they contributed to the situation. He needs to learn tact, of course. Don't they all? You can think things like that, but not say them aloud. And perhaps if he can say, "I'm sorry I said aloud that she smells," that might also be OK. The problem seems to be (as you've noted) that he is very oversensitive to smells and they do not seem to be supporting him in learning to cope. The sooner your private evaluations come back, the better. Marg [/QUOTE]
