[QUOTE="Janna, post: 57088, member: 2737"] Yeah, that's Dylan, too. Sometimes, it doesn't bother me. So, when he gets agitated by, say, a crying baby in the restaurant (because his cues and triggers are SO obvious anymore), before he can open his mouth, I'll lean over and say "aww, Dylan, you know, that mommy is probably feeling so bad because her baby is crying". And he'll say "yeah" ~ LOL, and give me a look like "darn I was gonna say something bad, but I guess I won't now". I think alot of it is impossible, because if you're in a situation where you're not specifically watching THAT child, what are you gonna do, you know? So yeah, I spend every second of my life, outside the home, when I'm with Dylan, waiting for the next trigger. I'm a winner [img]:hammer:[/img] But I think I can say those instances of him mouthing off in public have slowed down alot (but not diminished yet). I'm trying now to teach him more empathy. He's 10. I dunno maybe he wasn't wired with it. Sometimes it doesn't seem so. Janna [/QUOTE]
