The Lighter side

Hi,

I was talking to misskittykat yesterday, and she happened to mention trying to explain to her son why the busy train satation aused her daughter to meltdown, and yet she was happy to go bowling and to the cinema instead and it got me thinking how I often struggle to explain to my parents why my monster likes bowling, and the cinemas, but the sound of a felt tip pen on paper drives him completely insane!!  

Then I started smiling as I remembered that my wonderful son will try to use the sensitivity issues to his advantage, he hates washing his hands after using the bathroom, because it takes time away from his laptop, so his latest one, was that he couldn't wash his hands as the water hurt!  When I explained, plainly that he needed to wash his hands after going to the toilet to get rid of germs, he said ok and wondered off to his bedroom, without washing them.  When I asked where he was going, he looked at me grinned and said, that I hadn't stated that he needed to wash his hands each and every time he went to the toilet, so as long as he washed his hands sometimes, this would be ok.Needless to say he got marched back in to the bathroom.  In front of a giggling mum.  Loopholes, I will learn to close them eventually!!!!Laughing

  • You Misunderstand me!!  I have been sat sobbing, I never meant to offend any one. I go out of my way to try and understand what my son is going through and to try and help him, or to diffuse situations.  I have recently stopped work and am now a full time carer for my son, so I could go to all of the meetings and apps, I don't look for praise, I don't laugh at my son and I work really really really hard to understand him, and if I don't get something, I ask alot of questions.  I do understand that my son has genuine problems with his senstitivities, there are times though when it is more about the call of the computer, then end of the conversation, and the bit that made me smile, was when he turned, gave me a wicked grin, and said, well it was worth a try mum.

    I do read Tony Attwood, and I watch his lectures on youtube  I won't post any more on the forum.  Sorry for upsetting people
