Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I hate autism. I hate it I hate it I hate it. My daughter does nothing but cries and screams and bites herself. My son will do nothing but march up and down in front of the fridge and blow on his god damn string. I try to distract one, the other is in trouble. Add to that a jealous 1 year old and it makes for a fun fun night. My husband has to work 2nd shift again, so he sleeps all day and I feel like a single parent again. I'll feed you at my pity party, but yall have to bring your own drinks. Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think you should lock at least one of them in the bedroom with their father......just so he can stay familiar to the child ;-) Hang in there! I'd offer to distract or entertain at least one of them, but I don't think you want to drive up here where it's normally cold! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Thanks everyone for your kind words. I did feel better. Sometimes it just helps to hear, " yep, been there, done that, you're not the only one " Again, Thanks, Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 >>>>>>>>>>> Oh jeez Tuna, what are you going to do? Sure , bring beer :0) >>>>>>>>>> Well for starters, there are certain movies he will not be watching anymore. This is where he's getting the words, I think. I spoke to his psych and he said not to make a big deal of it, and that removing any books, movies or tv shows with bad words is a good start. I've spoken to his teacher, and she's going to document how often he says what and we'll see if it gets better or worse. If it gets worse, we'll do some social stories. What bothers me is that this has been going on for several weeks, and his aide and teacher didn't tell me. Ug. They told his psych and that's how I found out.

He thinks it's very funny, and just thinks it's a character name. Now I've been working on him at home, but had no idea he was saying this at school because no one said anything. Silly me, I assumed they tell me if he was swearing in class. When the psych visited 's class, the teacher told him about it and asked him if I should be informed. His answer was " You haven't told her yet?!
