OK, I just discovered a great solution, if I do say so myself :smile:
We are staying here in Niagara Falls at the Tourette Conference, having a great time with difficult child but one thing that has caused explosions is that darn basket full of expensive chips, chocolate and candy that they put in the room. From first thing each morning, difficult child has been begging for something sweet from the basket, then it turns to rage when he can't have it. After 3 days of this, I finally clued in that I could do something about it. I went to the front desk and asked for it to be removed, they insisted that it would cost me $25.00 to take it out! I asked for the Manager, pleaded with him and explained his disorders and of course they waived the charge and removed the basket right away.
Now I know, in future, when booking a hotel room to tell them from the start that we cannot have a basket of goodies in the room and the reason for it. That would have been about 4 explosions we could have saved if I had thought of it earlier. But our last day of this trip should be easier! Now I am drinking my wine thinking how clever I am.
