Taking my beautiful son out for a day!

mischief

Yesterday, we went to a wildlife park. Joel (adhd, asd, etc) has a new obsession, taking photos of animals. He was so focussed on this that he was totally unaware of anyone else around him! And the animals also included any pet dog on a lead! Sometimes you feel so alone and isolated. Not to mention, embarrassed! I want to shout at people who don't understand. Tell me how you all cope?

  • Why embarrassed? That sounds just brilliant. And people do like their dogs appreciated, even though some of them don't seem to understand why I fuss around their dogs rather than them. Dogs are so much easier to talk to.

    If his obsession is one that will last (I know that isn't necessarily likely) if he can become good at photographing animals, even pets, that's a good talent, and usable. People will pay good money for tasteful pet photos. And good wildlife photographers are clearly in demand on the telly.
