When my son Connor with autism came along, it was a whole new ballgame and meltdowns can come without warning. I realized that I cannot take him into certain stores because of the lighting or the noise. I learned that the hard way as I got many hairy eyeballs from other store patrons. I am learning to keep my chin up and not worry about others. It's hard. <BR/><BR/>What a terrific post.Linda Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801313102525232162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-81256739825269663322008-04-04T18:12:00.000-07:002008-04-04T18:12:00.000-07:00Thank you for sharing Brandon's story with us.

If you are interested let me know and I will send you a Paypal invoice for it. But once I got over here I began reading your blog. Thank you for sharing what you know about autism.

I too used to be very quick to judge when I saw a child in a store 'acting out' not knowing that this may be the problem. My neice works with high school age autistic kids and it has been a real eye opener for me and a much needed learning experience. We never should be so quick to judge but it seems to be a trait in so many of us.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-63199796045775460152008-04-04T16:02:00.000-07:002008-04-04T16:02:00.000-07:00What a wonderful post and we should never judge.

I would truly like some real ones roaming the hill but MIL does not like the idea so I will just take my McMurray Catalog and dream about a grand flock of birds. <BR/>I will truly look at the child acting out in a different manner.

I think now to myself, that perhaps the mom/dad/or both don't fully understand the concept of a special needs child!! They too have their wits grow thin and react in a very wrong way!!! If only you could have EVERY parent/grandparent read this, you'd fulfill a great need for us to understand better.<BR/><BR/>LOVE the rooster. My daughter has a friend who collects roosters too, and her house is loaded with them, everywhere you look. Too much so, that while you're sitting there in a room with her, you can actually hear them cackle. I know, I know it's just my imagination, but I'd rather see roosters outside. rofl<BR/><BR/>Have a great Friday dear Mary.Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944740176048431569.post-88244497738771759292008-04-04T04:12:00.000-07:002008-04-04T04:12:00.000-07:00Mary,That is one cocky rooster!
