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?

  • Of course we educate our grandson on why its wrong to do and say these things. We educated our own children that way and we take extra efforts always to make sure our grandson understands. The point I was making was that, in the end, we have had to create our own coping mechanisms to survive other people's snap judgements about our family. I cant anymore allow somebody's harsh words to us and our grandson to deeply upset and embarrass us. We have to cope with each day and each situation as it comes up and then get on with life.
