In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and actual effort to make a great post… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and in no way seem to get something done. <br /><a href="http://www.nikeshox-outlet.com/" rel="nofollow">Nike Shox</a>nike shoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10153261441861331314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-86037921623121353952008-08-10T16:51:00.000-04:002008-08-10T16:51:00.000-04:00Martin, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but ...Martin, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but your style of writing sounds *a lot* like Jordan in the book Jordan: Living with Autism and Multiple Complex Developmental Disorder.<BR/>Joeymom - Please don't blame yourself too much. Everyone makes mistakes. Today I'm babysitting my younger brother all day, and I made the mistake this morning of leaving him with nothing to do, even though I know that usually when I do that, he drives me to meltdown or semi-meltdown by making annoying noises and fidgeting. Today I managed to come down from the meltdown easier than usual, so that's good.Ettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230821659466586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-84573874522069533452007-08-17T17:23:00.000-04:002007-08-17T17:23:00.000-04:00Even I feel Sorry to hear you guys had a hard time...Even I feel Sorry to hear you guys had a hard time.<BR/><BR/>I think you have a very good vision of your kids life and I really appreciate your interest against your <BR/>kids.<BR/><BR/>Even I am like that.

My complete unawareness of the autistic spectrum has really gotten me overwhelmed and hearing from other moms experiences has been so helpful. My elder is a biter and the younger is picking it up (no asd traits seen in the younger but some major ocd issues in my opinion). Anyhoo, I can't even begin to label what I'm feeling other than gratitude that you all take the time to share.Jen Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983275002944009749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-61076463880937025742007-08-06T19:30:00.000-04:002007-08-06T19:30:00.000-04:00Just take care with those goats:http://www.goat-tr...Just take care with those goats:<BR/><BR/>http://www.goat-trauma.org/<BR/><BR/>Wait, that site *is* serious, isn't it?kiribakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315615724743111486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-65752353342725871682007-08-06T17:51:00.000-04:002007-08-06T17:51:00.000-04:00It's too bad that other people feel they have to j...It's too bad that other people feel they have to judge how you parent your own child. Unless you are harming your child, it is not their business. <BR/><BR/>And as for "How dare you think/wish this child should behave any differently than he does?" I wish that about all three of my children all them time, delayed and "typical". Who wants to deal with a tantrum in a store? <BR/><BR/>As for "How dare you let him behave that way?" What kid doesn't have a tantrum in a store? Each of my children has behaved so badly I've had to remove them from places. That's what (all) kids do. It's how they learn. And it's how they react to stimuli sometimes.<BR/><BR/>You know your kids best. You're obviously a thoughtful parent who wants the best for her children.

Nik is that way; I can always tell before he gets sick that something is coming. Hope Joey feels better soon! Don't beat yourself up; like VAB said, kids have meltdowns. I know we have to be mindful of timing things "just so" and sometimes we succeed. Others, we feel bad but do it anyway.Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-31463151413266749252007-08-06T12:27:00.000-04:002007-08-06T12:27:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear you guys had a hard time.

That's not going to happen. And young autistic kids tend to have more meltdowns. Between you and them, you'll figure it out in the long run. Basically, as I see it, you shopping in advance for your kids, minding the budget, getting the kids out and about, and doing all the things that a good, organized parent could be expected to do, so I just don't see any reason to be down on yourself, quite the opposite in fact.VABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652301858477760996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-22837207918701745062007-08-06T10:42:00.000-04:002007-08-06T10:42:00.000-04:00We have biting.
