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?

  • Apologies Blossom, I Did mean to start a new thread on here, still getting to grips with the forum.  Thanks for the suggestion Intenseworld.  I havent heard of these. I will investigate.  I do try to find stories with morals, and point them out.  His dad and I, and his teachers are trying to impact on his behaviour with positive re-enforcement, tho I find it quite hard sometimes.  I was glad to hear that Blossom has found a way to deal with everyday incidents.  I do struggle with what to do, and what to say/not to when incidents happen with my son.  Decided to start on here to get helpful tips.  Its also quite difficult knowing what approach to take as there is indicision as to whether my son is ADHD, ASD, SPD etc.  I feel a little bit lost and frustrated.
