Taking my beautiful son out for a day!

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?

  • I currently have no diagnosis for my son, who is six, and has struggled socially since nursery.  He is currently being investigated by CAMHS and has had an intervention team working with him for a time but not currently.  He is a big boy and very strong, impulsive, and not afraid to hit out should he feel the need.  I sent him to  a sports club over the holidays and after just over 2 days he was asked to leave and I had to take time off work to care for him.  Apparently he hit two seperate children on two different days and the club no longer wanted to have him there.  I have worried my self silly wondering whether to contact the parents or not, to apologize for his behaviour. One of the children he hit goes to his school and I am dreading a confrontation at the school gates as I dont really know what I would say. Does anyone have any easy replies that neither antagonise or divulgetoo much information. 

    Thanks in anticipation
