[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68099, member: 1991"] difficult child 3's drama class includes a lot of kids with various problems. One boy has Prader-Willi, which means that he is ALWAYS hungry (his body cannot tell him when he has eaten enough) and also cannot be fed as much because their bodies only need about two thirds the calories of others. It was her birthday so the family went out to a family restaurant with a buffet. This kid was grabbing at all the food, wanted everything on the buffet and had to be stopped from taking too much. His mother had to take a lot of the food away since it WAS far too much and would have made him sick. He immediately began screaming, "But I'm starving! Give it back! It's MY food! I'm starving!" (and remember, they DO feel like they're starving). He was grabbing food on other plates too, eating with his hands and generally being noisy and disruptive. Others in the restaurant were trying to ignore them but one young couple, maybe about 20, looked very critical. it finally got so bad that they decided to call off the birthday dinner and leave. This mother is a real lady, in every way, but will still take no nonsense. As she left she conveyed her message very effectively by cheerily saying loudly to the restaurant - "Are there any takers to adopt a Special Needs child? Anyone? Feel free, just say the word..."
