[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 99637, member: 3704"] April, All I can say is we avoid malls and crowded stores like the plague!! difficult child taught us around 3 years of age that he can't tolerate that kind of environment and we soon learned that we couldn't if he couldn't. We're strictly online and small local shop (or farmer's market) buyers now - it's wonderful... but wasn't really much of an option when he was younger. I can't count the number of people who wanted to "help" us with a sensorily overwhelmed, out of control difficult child. None of them had a clue of what they were talking about. Now (when I'm shopping alone) and I see a parent struggling with a younger child in a public place I give them smiles and say some prayers for them. I know better than to judge their situation. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could do that? [/QUOTE]
