[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 300960, member: 7916"] Thanks for all your replies. I should have joined this group earlier. It is nice to 'talk' to people who understand. I sometimes go to a Tourette's Syndrome support group and that is good, too, but it doesn't meet frequently. My husband and I feel isolated sometimes because it is so hard for people to understand why Bug is different. He appears at first glance to be a typical bright, creative little boy and people are shocked when he turns out to be a not-so-typical bright, creative little boy who rages and says scary things. So many people have suggested that we need to set firmer limits or, my favorite, "just tell him to stop it." I truly believe that my son is a wonderful person and that he is trying very hard to control his behavior. He is so loving and funny and the people who work with him one-on-one, like his occupational therapist and his aide, grow to love him. Today was a fairly good day at school. His aide was absent, so he had a floater aide today (who is quite good), but that kind of threw him off this morning. He had a rocky start, but the day turned out well. And, I am so proud of him because he ate lunch in the cafeteria today for the first time! He usually sits outside with his aide and a friend because the noise and smells in the cafeteria bother him a lot. So, I am going to follow everyone's advice and today husband and I will celebrate this. [/QUOTE]
