[QUOTE="SRL, post: 247576, member: 701"] Regardless of what the cause is, what your little guy is telling you is that he's not at a point where he can handle this well. At his young age and while you're waiting to get a handle on what's up with him, the best thing to do is to make adaptations for him. Some kids seriously can't handle trips into stores. Some can handle it but only a few or even just one. Some will handle familiar stores but not new ones. Some kids will handle it better if they're handed something like a juice box the moment you walk through the door. When possible, make the accomadations for him now to keep him calm, then later when you've got a better grasp on his issues you'll know better how to approach it. Google PECS--it's a picture system used to help young children in situations such as making transitions. [/QUOTE]
