He did get into scratching after that but that too has been awhile. Now he'll hit you if he gets really upset. He's super strong now, I hope he is still not hitting when he is a teenager.<br /><br />The bad times are so exhausting and stressful, thank goodness for the good times.<br /><br />Oh I started another blog that is only on Autism/Asperger's. Nothing personal there. Just alot of links and info.

My emotional response sounded just like yours. I too was at a loss as to how I would respond after yelling. Uggg, the guilt and bad self talk was awful.doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832597977182841750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468251.post-1096924488888075892004-10-04T16:14:00.000-05:002004-10-04T16:14:00.000-05:00No, I don't think you should allow your daughter t...No, I don't think you should allow your daughter to bite. Our youngest son is a major biter. We have to restrain him on occasion, which is a real challenge. He's a skilled escape artist and he has more determination than we do. The worst is putting him in the car during a tantrum. My low point came over the summer one Friday when I was removing YS from a McDonald's playland. I completely forgot where I had parked, and I was yelling loudly as YS continued the biting, clawing frenzy he had started inside. I think I called him a "fucking savage." After I finally got him into the seat, I looked around and remembered that I was parked about 25 feet from the drive-thru window. Several people were looking at me in horror. I just got into the van and drove off.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225554333698783398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468251.post-1096900320377332012004-10-04T09:32:00.000-05:002004-10-04T09:32:00.000-05:00Whew, Randy.

About the guilt -- kids sure do that to you, no way around it, I guess.Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187479379019211329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468251.post-1096847884941959542004-10-03T18:58:00.000-05:002004-10-03T18:58:00.000-05:00Don't feel guilty.

I don't know how you handle long breaks, like Christmas and Easter.<br /><br />Are you wiped? Looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, for some well deserved rest? Are you going to the temple in the a.m.?Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636304888031546405noreply@blogger.com
